Your being very responsible just the way you should. I hope the ointment clears it right up.

What do you guys think based off the images? The two improvements that I have noticed are no more foam in/around her eyes, and she is no longer shaking her head like she is annoyed with her eyes. Aside from those two thing's, I'm just concerned about the way her eyes still look. The ointment said to apply 2-4 times a day so maybe I should apply more frequently? or maybe I should just give it more time. What do you guys think?!

That is so kind of you to say, Thank You! I truly do love them like they are my babies, and I know all of you are the same with yours and that is why I come here - I seriously don't know what I'd do without having this community to reach out to for advice! You all rock.

I think it looking better. Make sure to put it on especially at bedtime so she can’t wash it off. If you don’t put water in with her over night. Your def going to have to give it a bit more time.

Okay awesome, that makes me feel a little better. I'm so worried it won't work or something but I should stop overthinking it since there has been 2 improvements in just the two days she has taken it. I definitely lay it on thick at night for that exact reason! Great mind's think a like I should have separated the boys and girls earlier, but a lesson learned on mating season 101 for sure!

Here’s my Miss Hope back in November when her eye got poke led by my drake. I turned around and she had blood dripping from here eye. Scared me half to death. She healed up just fine. It was the oil from the ointment that stayed on her feathers forever that made it look worse.

The last picture is about two weeks after the meds stopped being applied.

Oh my goodness! I am loving these photos of your sweet babies (well besides the injuries!) duck's are pretty much the cutest things in the world to me! I am so glad your sweet girl healed up, that makes me feel so much better. I was freaking out at first thinking she would lose her vision or something!
