Pic:weeping eye=Duck Cold?

[thedoors5to1]

My ducks had "weeping" eyes, clear liquid and some bubbly stuff coming from his eye. i've been washing it with warm water and applying antibiotic ointment.
im wondering if its a cold or something more serious. its been going on for a few weeks or so. ive got some pictures. any opinions help, i just want to make sure he's o.k. he scratches at the eye alot.
heres three pictures, first ones of his eye up close, you can see some whitish small bubbles and some food stuck to his face from the weeping eye making his feathers crusty and food stuck when it froze. also sometimes his feathers around his eye freeze and get crusty to the point where his eyelids are being pulled away from his eye.

I noticed something similar to my young duck. The eye looks like it weeps but nothing else is around it. It looks like a cold in its eye. I didn't see anything in the eye either.

I have no idea but just wanted to say how pretty and hope you can find some answers, also might try the duck thread if you haven't already..

Happens all the time to my ducks. Its just their eyes start to water from the cold weather and it freezes. I dont think he is sick, not much to worry about, but i think he'll be fine.

Does your drake have constant 24 hour a day access to water deep enough to get his whole head into? Its really important that they have fresh clean water for cleaning their faces and nostrils. Dust and airborne particles can easily lodge in the nose or irritate their eyes causing them to weep.
