Duckling eye infection?

[caymusjordan]

Hello;
New member here. We received two ducklings yesterday from CA - one Pekin and one Cayuga.

The Cayuga seems to have an eye infection or damage? I am looking for a vet, but wanted to see if anyone here has any thoughts. I have attached a couple photos below - tough to get a good one in focus...

really hard to see in the pictures. They are very blurry but terremycin ointment is often used. You can get it at Tractor Supply

I'll go pick some up this AM - thank you!

Are you in California? If so, what part?

No, we are in Colorado. I am going to pick up the ointment, the breeder said it doesn't look good and to try ointment and that they will replace her...would prefer her to get healthy, not to replace her!

What city did they come from?

Gonzales CA.
I have one of our vets coming over this afternoon to look at her - just sent her a better photo of the eye - if she doesn't think she needs to be seen today, we have an appointment in the office tomorrow.

Ah, okay, they came from Metzer. I was worried that they could have come from one of the counties with the outbreak of Newcastle disease. Metzer is not in one of those counties, so no need to worry.
