Need help diagnosing duck illness

If you have chickens in with your ducks and young ones who are intimidating them she very well could have gotten pecked. Have you opened the eye to look at it? I have 2 females blind in one eye one from a hawk attack the other one I have no idea. The Runner has cloudiness in her blind eye the Muscovy her eye looks normal but blind. If you can wrap her in a towel and open the eye rinse it put real good with saline then the eye drops. Put out more than one feed bowl and water buckets. I have 28 birds and I put out 4 feed bowls and buckets. I do have a Speckled Sussex who like to chase after the young Runners only them[10months] though she can't get away with it with the older girls she has never tried to scare off the drakes.
 
@Stipenvlerk - Yes, I’m certain I made the bath water too warm :hmm @Miss Lydia - I got a good look in both eyes this morning. She’s not closing them nearly as often! I see a little dark brown speck near the edge of her inner eyelid where I think she got pecked. She’s still not as active as she used to be, but we’re continuing to treat her eyes and have been tube feeding her morning and evening to keep her nourished, and she does seem to be improving. Thank y’all for the advice and support!
 
Awesome!! Progress is what we want to hear and it sounds like you have got her going in the right direction now. Is she eating on her own at all?
