eye issue/skin problem

[Memi1013]

hello, I have a 1 year old WH that has scabs above her eye. she is otherwise 100% normal, eating, laying, and social..normal. her eye is not draining, foamy or foggy. at first we thought maybe she scratched it but now over the past couple days it keeps growing but healing where the scab once was...its very weird. i have been keeping it as clean as i can for a duck and putting neo on it but it seems to get worse when moist....help please!!!

Hi there, can you post pictures?
You've got to let the scab dry out a bit. How often do you apply the neosporin?

Terramycin is good for eye infections.

Do you have a drake? they will grab hold of skin around the eye when mating. Look up saline rinses for eyes and start rinsing her eye with it. Don't use the neo for a few days and see what it look like just using the saline a couple times a day and if you have Veterycin that is safe to use around the eyes also.
If a drake is doing this then she needs to be kept from him until she is healed or it will just continue to get worse.
