Eye infection?

[MagpieDucks]

I have a duck that appears to have some sort of eye infection. I first noticed it yesterday. I will continue to do a saline wash a couple times a day, but thought I could order an eye ointment to speed it up.

Would either of these products work? I can get a picture of the infection if needed. https://www.jefferspet.com/products/terramycin-eye-ointment

You can use the Terramycin, and technically you can use the Vetericyn, but they also sell Vetericyn Eye Gel.

Greetings MagpieDucks,

Eggcessive has given you good advice. Terramycin, and Vetericyn can be used for eye infections. A triple antibiotic ophthalmic ointment can also be used.

But, if you don't see improvement in t 48 to 72 hours, you may want to try Colloidal Silver 20-30 ppm, 1-2 drops onto the eye two times a day. I have used it on dogs, chickens, and even a mini horse, with great results. Colloidal Silver is anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal.

Some eye infections are stubborn, and won't respond to certain treatments. So, it's good to have options, in case you need to switch to something else.


I hope I have been helpful.

God Bless

It looks even worse today. Just a small slit for an opening. I cleaned it again today, and finally got around to ordering some Veticyrin.

Will keep you all updated.
