Duck Fleas and Ticks?

[Orca5094]

I know this post is 6 years old so chances of getting an answer are slim - but what happened with the duckling that had a tick near its eye? Were you able to remove it? Did it affect the duckling?
I just noticed what I assume to be a tick on one of the ducklings in my backyard but it’s quite deep and causing the duckling to not be able to open its eye.
anything I can do to help? They are very tame with me and let me touch them but don’t want to cause unnecessary stress

Oops, I am not here often and didn't see this till now. I removed the tick with tweezers, no problem.

Ironically, I came back here just now because that same duck I mentioned above is now almost 11 years old and gets many tiny ticks on her face/eyes these days that I have to remove. (She has arthritis and can no longer scratch/preen her face at all.) I was hoping to see if there is any kind of tick prevention that is safe to use on ducks? We have a ton of ticks in my area so they are unavoidable, especially for my special old lady who can no longer preen herself as well.
