one of my ducklings has what looks like drainage around her eyes, she is 3.5 weeks, can I put vet rx in their water or are they too young ? Also is there anything else I can do? She is still eating and drinking, but not as much as the others and I've noticed some dark watery poop, not just from her but all 3 of them, intermitten with normal looking poop from all of them. They have a deep dish of water, some poultry cell in a few of the waters, and they eat organic duck crumbles and Purina duck pellets. She also isn't as active as the others. She will sit more than them, but still gets up to walk around and preen herself. I change their pen 2-4 times a day depending on how messy they are. And their new pen is coming today so they will have more room as of tonight. This is the same girl who had a rough start but with b complex seemed to be much better. Just wanna help her as best I can, thanks !
 
I have been putting the poultry cell in the water and I thought that had extra b vitamins but I also try and give her some b complex on a qtip, she avoids it but the others love it. It seems clear I don't notice the drainage I just see that its around her eyes. I'll try to get a video now and post it
 


Please don't mind the water marks on the pen! No matter how hard I clean it is still looks like this, anyway this is her, the eye at the end of the video she has scratched some feathers off.
 
On a q tip that’s interesting. I’m not familiar with poultry cell how much niacin is in it? Do you notice this after she dunks her head or is it there all the time? Is their bedding on the dusty side? Or feed?
They have been on towels because they were eating all of the bedding I tried
