Hello all! I am searching for advice for my sickly duck and found this site, I hope I can find some good advice here!

My 5 year old blue runner duck seem to have what seems to be a very severe upper respiratory/eye/ear infection. Her ear is leaking what seems to be puss/blood, her eyes are full of bubbles, she's wheezing, and her face is extremely swollen. I feel terrible that I didn't notice until the infection had gotten this bad.
I know female ducks can get infections like this pretty easily due to the males biting the backs of their necks, so I'm thinking that may be what happened here.

She is not eating but is drinking, she seems disoriented but is semi-active. Id like to know what sort of treatment I should use, and how I should go about it.

Please let me know if there are any other questions and ill do my best to answer them!

Poor girlie
Replying to bump your thread. Hopefully you'll get answers soon
Could you get more photos, of her head at different angles so we can see where the swelling is specifically?
And does she have water deep enough to dunk her whole head?

We've been replying in emergencies too.
