I only have two ducks a male and her I did separate her for the first few hours he was completely distressed so I brought him in with her and they both seem much more relaxed I have her indoors right now just to keep an eye on her today and tonight. What’s 2 ducks in the house I will be picking up that ointment first thing I can I don’t live anywhere close to town and I need to find out if they even sell it at my feed store. (I live far enough out of town as I’m listening to gunshots right now of people target practicing in the hills lol I might talk to a few neighbors and see if they have the ointment as it’s mostly farmers around me thank you so much for your input I sincerely appreciate

Flush/clean her eye with saline.
You mention tribiotic ointment? Would the be triple antibiotic ointment? If you have any of that without pain reliever, then you can use that to apply to her wounds. Bacitracin can be used as well.
You can make your own saline solution. Recipe is 1 tsp salt to 2 cups of water. Boil for 15 minutes. Let cool, then use to flush/clean the eye.

Does she seem to be alert/eating/drinking? Any bad odor or pus/infection in her wounds?
She may not be antibiotics if she's healing ok. If you do feel she needs antibiotics, then you can use the Amoxicillin. Dose is 57 mg per pound of weight given orally twice a day for 7-10 days.

Her eye looks better today (still bad) but better. She isn’t eating to much she actually ate better yesterday out of my hand but she did lay an egg this morning I was kinda shocked about that I left it with her as she actually seems to want to sit on it.. I still have them both indoors with me. It’s freezing temps outside at night I figured another day and night would be better. They don’t seem to mind at all. Her depth perception of course is off and watching her figure it out food, water etc. thank you for the correct recipe for the eye was I did it first thing this morning and will again tonight.
