I brought home a Muscovy duckling the weekend before last because I felt sorry for it having one eye. The lady I got her from was selling them and I didn't think any one would want to take her, so I opted to take her. After I brought her home, I washed around the eye and put some antibiotic ointment over it, and I was told that it should have already closed. Yesterday, I noticed a knot starting to swell, and today it is about twice the size. When I noticed it, I called a Dr that's an hour's drive from me who looks at ducklings, but they couldn't get me in before Monday, and since it is now twice the size, I'm worried about her. Her eye socket is seeping a clear fluid, and I think it needs to be lanced, but I don't know how to do that, and I don't know how to help her.
She sleeps inside in the brooder, and during the day she stays with the other ducks. She becomes depressed when inside the brooder, and it's like she just doesn't want to live. That's the only reason she goes outside during the day.
This is what she looked like when I brought her home almost two weeks ago.
I think it looks a lot worse than it is because she is molting... But it's still bad.
