Duck eye infection?

[thumper650]

Hi Everyone!
I have a partially blind 5 year, pekin duck with a really gross drippy eye, everything I see online doesn’t look as goopy as Marco’s eye. He’s eating, breathing normally, but is a bit lethargic. Here’s a pic of what it looks like. I’m planning on calling the vet Monday, but should I quarantine him in the mean time? I’m really worried about him. Thanks!

Hi there, is the eyeball still in there?

Hi there, is the eyeball still in there?

Honestly I can’t see it.

You can try rinsing it out with warm saline, and you could apply some antibiotic eye ointment. Do you have any antibiotics to give orally or by injection?

 

[thumper650]

I don’t, but I can get to a cvs quickly

Do you have any Terramycin? Tractor Supply will have it most likely.

Bless I hope the eye is still there could he have poked it on something @thumper650

The eye is still in there, it’s very watery, his legt side is all stained from the goo. I washed it out with saline, I’ll get to TSC later tonight, it’s kinda a ride. Thanks for your help guys!

We are rooting for the big guy. Glad to hear his eye is still there.
