Pekin with droopy eyelid. Is it a problem?

[CoriM]

Hi all, I'm attaching a photo of my duck Tuppins, who I first noticed had a drooping eyelid (they both droop a little) 2-3 months ago. Nothing seemed wrong with her, and I just thought it might be a characteristic. I don't know if there's been any change in the last few months, but today it seemed like it's possibly a little more droopy - hard to tell if I'm being paranoid. Anyway, has anyone else experienced this and is it something I should be concerned about? It doesn't seem like infection, as there isn't any swelling, and like I said, it's been drooping awhile. Is there any way to resolve the issue, or is it fine? She is 7 months old. Thank you!

Are you noticing any swelling or discharge? doesn't look red like something is bothering her. Lung sounds sound good. It may just be her.

I've never noticed swelling or discharge, and it doesn't appear to bother her. I hope this is just her and not a problem! Although, it's not very pretty. Thank you.

It’s both eyes?

@quackiemama has Pekins she may know more about if this is normal for Pekins.

Hmmmm I am going to run outside real quick and check out their eyes. Now I am curious

I have a pekin and haven't ever seen this...unless...I just didn't notice. I am curious about this too!

@Miss Lydia, the photo is the worst one. The other one droops mainly at the corner, not all along the bottom of the eye, if that makes sense.

I think you would notice it - my other two pekins are normal and their eyes look much cuter

Here are my pekin girls. I don't see any droopy eyes, do you?
Don't mind the pine shavings on Kourtney's bill she was digging when I went out there.
