You may want to look into giving her an oral antibiotic as well.. but I don't know a bunch about that.

Could be.The infection is caused by improper conditions in the pen.
Shes an gaint pekinCould be.
But also I'm betting it's a Pekin duck which is a heavier breed making them more prone to foot issues anyway.
No vets see ducks I have 60 ducks and I have no other problems....they have been checkedBoth of her feet are like this? Honestly it looks like this is from keeping the ducks in too damp of an area with little to no dry areas. Has it been raining a lot? What type of substrate do they have? In the first photo it looks like the ground is saturated with some straw floating on top. Do they have areas to keep dry as well? Most of their living area should be dry most of the time with the exception of the pool area. However, even the wet areas should not be saturated with water.
I would soak, wrap, and use neosporin as suggested above. But, this duck would need to be kept dry until healed. No access to swimming water until healed. Its going to take weeks of treatment and possibly an antibiotic.
Just adding that I would also seek out a vet. This is pretty severe.

@Quatie is relatively familiar with pekins, their care, and antibiotics needed to treat infections. They might be able to offer some recommendations for you.
Your other post stated you have 65 ducks in a building for winter. If all of that moisture and water is in a building, you're most likely going to have issues throughout the winter. I'd get a handle on it now and make sure their living area is a drier environment.
