Please Help! Duck has hurt eye and leg!

Date sort Score sort
your duck has a terrible eye infection, theres a couple of things that you can do at home, first send me an updated pic, second can you see her pupil? she maybe end up being blind. Get some Vitamin B complete and put One pill in a quart of water, Leg issues TAKE a long time to heal.. If you have a pic of her leg send me one, i would like a pic of you holding her with her feet dangling and one with her laying down...
 
Her eye is WAY better now so it's mostly her leg that's the problem. We have been puting duck and chicken approved triple antibiotics on it and it's helped a lot.
We have been giving her daily swims to exercise her foot and it has helped a little. Today we got some Epsom salt so we are going to start soaking her foot. We also made her kind of like a hamic with holes so her legs and hang down and give the joint a break.
The picture are a up date on her eye and the pictures of her bad foot you wanted. Her bad foot is her left foot.

I hope you can fix it... It reminds me of my ducklings leg and hers is perminantly crippled because the location is just about impossible to do anything for.
 
OK, looking at the picture this is what I see. First it looks like there's an overly aggressive male in the flock OR there's to many males. She's missing head feathers and she has a lot of swelling on her head... her eye does look better. I wonder if you are putting her in the bath tub for swimming lessons? sort of speaking. if not I would start, I would put he in the bath tub with warm water, this should help that head swelling..

I would keep her separated, personally I would be using eye drops instead of triple antibotics, things like neosporin is not meant to go into the eyes, it's used for outer wounds. Something like Saline solutions for the eyes...

As far as the leg, my guess it was caused from a male or males. Legs Take a long time to heal, you have to keep her separated because if she is with them and they keep jumping her, it's just going to get worst and worst. The Vitamin B in the water is great for leg issues.
 
We do have her separated and the pen she was id doesn't have the males in it anymore. I am planing to start using saline solution but I need to find how to make it.
We have been bathing her regularly and exercising the leg. Today she was starting to us her leg to swim so that was good news.
What do you think is wrong with her leg? We have tried to move her ankle into a standing position but it's like the joint is frozen and is barely moves.

It's probably has some damage to the joints from the boys jumping on her. I had a female with the same issue, it took over a month before she started using her leg. Right now I have one that I'm treating this situation, my aggressive male is literally attacking this poor guy, then the group joins in and they pile up on him, pin him down then just chase him all over the place. He tries to fly away but they are right on his tail, when he lands he hits soooo hard that it's causing him some problems, So I have him separated from the group. It's been a couple of weeks and he's still limping but slowly getting better. It just takes a long time for those legs to get healed back up.
