Ok...so, Little Lou developed eye issues wayyy back in December when he wasn’t well with his broken knee. He wouldn’t dunk his head...it became..perhaps an infection...anyways it was deci on here to treat with saline drops to loosen the eyes..because he coul open..and then use teramyacin. Did that. Fast forward...Lou never did start to dunk. It was discussed on here too. I put a deep basin bowel with shower curtain under his straw for him to ‘swim’....no dip...no dunk......now I also have an upside-down watered...without the lid...so that’s it’s deep...so he CAN duck. No luck..he’s as dry as can be. I noticed awhile back that the teramyacin residue had clunked up under his eyes into his feathered and made a hard mess. I tried to wash it out daily..no luck. So, I started putting neosporin on the spots to loosen them up..but hopefully leave no damage.... now one eye has some bubbles...but the chunk is still there....the other eye looks as though the feather chunk fell off....but looks...raw? He’s still not dunking. I’m soooooo worried about my Little Lou...I think you all know that, and I appreciate you reading along. :)

A warm soft towell compress will clean around the eye and soften all the gunk out, Teramyacin is a a good product, i also had good luck with over the counter antibiotic eye drops on a drake with foamy eyes

But a duck not dunking is deffinitly odd! Mabye a soft mist spray bottle of clean water would help

Best wishes for you and lou

Well..I do take him in to our big bathtub in the basement. I do the warm compresses...but, it doesn’t seem to do anything..I have to dig at it..and then..it pulls really hard at him. I don’t want to push his head under water...he’ll be scared by me I think...he’s so...traumatized. He did make it out to the pond the one day it got up to 58*. He dunked that day and had a blast. But he just won’t do it inside. What kind of OTC eye drop would I get?

Well if you fill up the bathtub with enough water that he can swim and then drop some treats in that will sink to the bottom, he must dunk his head to reach them. - Do peas float or sink?
