Did you post a picture and I missed it? Do you have any fluorescein strips and saline?

For now, what I would suggest to keep her as calm and relaxed as possible. Keep the other ducks away if they're trying to attack or bother her. Also, how bad would you describe the cut?

General care would be to clean the cut and eye with saline, then apply an eye ointment like Terramycin in the eye and on the cut. If you can't get Terramycin, then you can use Original Neosporin.

Photos would be a great help!
