for the foot - I'd probably put neosporin and wrap it the neosporin will draw anything out and help heal the foot - that's all.

For the eye - my guess would be the rinse/ointment.

BUT it looks like there could be a bigger underlying problem...

If you can keep him separated - it might be better for him - and for you to watch him.

This might help you narrow down what you think could be the problem(s).

Scratchy eyes, lethargic, not running as fast as he used to. Sounds like mite or lice infestation. Have you checked the base of the feathers?
 
will check for lice/mites, thankyou terrielacy, kimb, and purpletree23 for your input!
terrielacy-i've gotten input from my avian vet, but apparently she hasnt dealt with bumblefoot much, especially in ducks(ive heard its very diff, from chicken to duck).. as for the meds i can only get discounted sometimes free samples, but for wildlife use only not on my own pets!
kimb- thanks for the eye problem thread list, i've seen a few of those but will read the rest and continue my neosporin regime.
purpletree23- will check him for mites or lice but have before, and i'd guess if one had them the others would also. i will def be keeping an eye on thier skin more after finding pipers "cuts" on his feet.

thanks again guys, anyone think another week round of pen-g would help maybe? give a little boost?
