Duck eye infection?

[Miss Lydia]

May never know, just hope it gets better quick!

He’s so. Precious! Hopefully it will heal fast so he can be back with his family

He seems to be getting better, thanks! His eye is still a little goopy. Today temps are in the 40's, so everybody's talking baths. I'm going to get more antibiotic Monday, because I've spilled so much of it on him. He's a tough customer when it comes to taking his meds. Eyedrops are snap, but the oral med is a pain! Thanks for thinking of my boy!

Hi everyone!
Marco has his eye removal surgery today. Everything went well, the vet said he should make a full recovery. He will be on oral pain meds, and is recovering in his house, separated from his friends. They can see and hear each other through a plastic fence. They asked if they could put him on their FB page. He showed his good side!

Here he is riding to the vet.

Oh @thumper650 I'm so sorry about Marco. We all try so hard to take care of our ducks and this is just so sad to hear. You've always been such a big help to all of us and you are such a good duck dad I just hate to hear this happened to poor Marco.

Be sure to bury him deep. Trust me!

I thought of that! He’s covered with plywood too for a while.

Ugh, today we had a hawk attack, and unfortunately, Polo, Marco's brother was killed by a hawk. We're pretty bummed right now. 2 in 2 days.
On the plus side I found 7 eggs in a nest. Since I don't want 7 ducks I collected them. I think I'm going to incubate them. Not sure if they're fertile, but probably are. If I remember correctly, Kahki Campbell's don't usually sit on their eggs.

Hi there, is the eyeball still in there?

Hi there, is the eyeball still in there?

Honestly I can’t see it.

Any fighting going on?
