    I need help with my ducks eye she has been having problems with both eyes since September we have gone down the route of the vets using eye drops and she's been on a corse of antibiotics (tylan) for 10 days and still no good.
    Symptoms are ever couple of weeks or so she gets a slight milky coloured line across either her right or left eye and then the day after her eye is shut completely there is no discharge from the eye it just makes her very unhappy and she sits down a lot, doesn't want to route around like she normally does, but the day after she will be back to normal with her eye open back to her usual self
    she isn't scratching it so it's not irritating her.
    I'm just concerned as it's becoming a regular occurrence
    If anyone can help i would be really great full and she would too
    I'll take a picture and put it on

    Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining, but sorry to hear about your duck. I'm not sure if this is a condition specific to ducks, but the folks on the duck forum may be able to have some experience of this - https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks

    Good luck

    Hi :welcome

    Glad you could join us here! I'm afraid I'm not a duck keeper but I see you have now posted in the duck section. I'm sure the keepers there will be able to help you.

    Good luck and enjoy your time here on BYC :frow

    G’Day from down under whitehouse12 [​IMG] Welcome!

    As you have already received some good advice and links, I will just wish you and your girl all the best.

    You might want to also pop in and say hello on your local thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/26/where-am-i-where-are-you ‘Find your State’s thread.

    I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends [​IMG]
