Eye infection

[leslie harris]

anyone know what kind of eye infection this is? Is it contagious? Her eye looks orange inside and out. I have looked online but can’t find info or photos of anything like it. I have 12 ducks and she is the only one with it right now.

Is it both eyes? do you have any saline ? Terramycin eye ointment Veterycin spray? Is she other wise healthy? Doen’t Look like anything I have seen before any discharge and how long has she been like this?

 

[leslie harris]

It is in both eyes. She acts normal otherwise. I have saline but no terramycin eye ointment. But can get some tomorrow. No discharge that I can see. But as you can see in the photo it has discolored around her eyes also. I noticed it last Wednesday- so about 5 days. I have searched everywhere but cant find any info. My vet has treated my ducks before. I may send her a photo tomorrow and see what she says. I hate to take them there unless it’s really serious. They hate that car ride. But I’ll take her in if I need to.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes send her a pic and see what she thinks. And please let us know what she says.

Have you noticed her scratching or rubbing her eyes? You can. Make a saline wash that would make her eyes feel better by using a cup of nice warm water and a 1/8 teaspoon of salt mix well and pour over her eyes to rinse them out. But def contact the vet.
