Sick duck? New to ducks need help

Okay so they both have red eyes now and I've heard them both cough, not a lot at all, maybe 3 coughs and I wont hear it for days, but now i can see some slight drying around the eyes and I saw like teardrops coming out of Jack's eye. I've given them terramycin eye ointment twice now I dont know if I'm doing it right, I put gloves on and an m&m size drop and smear it on their eyes. I'm getting really worried about them and everytime I look something up on google I get conflicting answers or no answers at all. I dont know If should be really worried or if I'm overly worried. I just ordered vet rx and I'll give that to them on wednesday when it arrives. I hope it helps. I'm just so new to ducks and I feel super lost, I wish I knew how to make them all better. I added a million pictures, hopefully someone can tell me how to help them

I turned the light off this morning and they're eyes have become less red! And I was able to get a vet appointment for tomorrow. Thanks everyone for helping, I feel a lot less anxious now. I will keep everyone updated (aka... will probably be asking more questions later)
Hey newbie like you here :frow Isn’t everyone so helpful. I’m like you, if I can’t find the answer to whatever question I have ( and I also seem to have lots lol) I go straight to my BYC friends. Such a well rounded wealth of knowledge from all of them. Let us know what the vet says :fl
