Pekin Duck with Eye Infection - please help!

How many days do you think I should apply it for? or do I just need to take it day by day until she is at a certain point?

I did it for 10 days. But you can go day by day as you see fit.

Ohh no!! Poor baby girl drake's can be such jerks! I am SOO glad she healed up, I would have freaked out as well! She is adorable

Yes they can be such drakeholes!!!

I have used chloramphenicol eye drops on my animals with eye infections (and my children, husband and me when advised by the pharmacist) which I find much easier than ointment. It effectively does the same thing as the terramycin (had to look it up) just the drops are easier and quicker to dispense!

Thanks for sharing that. I'll have to look it up and see if we can get that here. Never heard of it.

Update: She is 100% healed and doing well Thank you guys so much, I can't say it enough. You all are amazing and I genuinely love and appreciate you guys for helping me out every time. I also managed to re-home 5 of my boys to a very sweet woman who is vegan - so I know they won't be ending up on her dinner table which for me was very important. Now my flock size is down to 2 boys and 5 girls. I hope the decrease in drake's will keep my gals safer, especially during mating season!

Thank You all again! <3

This is awesome to know! While administering the ointment I definitely wished that it came in drop form - so I will keep this information on hand for next time (hopefully there isn't one but hey, it's all apart of the game! Thank You so much
