My duck has one eye!

As long as she will eat when you give her food in water separately, then she should be ok there...

It's only been a week, it will take a while for her to adjust if she can't see out of one eye... that is a full half of their eyesight, and being a prey animal they will be much more cautious until she adjusts... and there will always be a huge blind spot for her so getting startled will be easy to happen with her... a buddy would help her a lot, are there any that like to hang out with her? If so, keep them with her when she eats or anytime you separate her from the others...
 
I was thinking about giving her a mate I will try that tomorrow. Thanks RavynFallen, I haven't weighted her but looking at her it doesn't look like she has lost any.
 
Sounds good, just watch the other one for picking on her... some are good with ones that have disabilities, but some are not...

As for her weight, the feathers and fluff will hide weight loss... if you can't weigh her, you can get a general feeling from her keel... feel her breast and follow her keel bone, it's the one that sticks out a bit from breast to belly... you should be able to feel it and meat on either side... if it's protuding a lot and very little meat on either side then she is losing too much...
