Well today I just woke up and I go to get the ducklings and I see that the duckling with the eye problem has gotten really worse.
It's a brown coloration around his eye and it doesn't dry, I put his eye in water because there was a lot of goo stuff in the eye where it meets the bill.
I'm worry he has a infection.
So I moved him to a small, plastic box that I got for drawing material on my birthday.
I cleaned up and put up the towel, fresh water and put new purina duck feed.
I'm scared please help.
 
Listen, I used to do the same thing on here. I would be impatient and repost on my own thread until someone helped me, you have to give other people some time alright? Is there and chance you could get a picture? What eye is it?
 
Its the left eye.
Its still watery and brown around it with goo.

No, someone who is sick has to take care of her duckies.

It's awful when you are scared and no one is able to help right away.

What are you doing for the eye now? Is there a head washer for the ducklings?

If you can get a bottle of Vetericyn eye ointment, get that and follow the directions. If only Vetericyn spray is available, lightly spray that just over the duckling's head so the mist falls in her eye.

Get the duckling into clean warm water - about 80F - and let her swim and wash her head.

Make a saline solution with 1/4 teaspoon of water in a cup of lukewarm water. Mix it well. Use a very clean utensil and drip just a little near the eye so that it runs into the eye.

This can be done two to three times a day. Improvement is likely to be fairly quick - half a day or so, unless there is something more serious going on.

It is always good to see a vet if you are worried, especially when you first get ducks.
 
I used salt and warm water like others said.
When I put either my ducklings in the water they panic and start to wet themselves completely.
