Their is something wrong with my ducks eye.

I'm not sure if he had this when I got him yesterday he was forced on me so he wasn't alone I only wanted two. Anyway he has a white spot in the corner of his left eye and it moves when u touch it I think it might be attached because it moves back to the spot it was in before. It is a tad red around the edges and he can still see out of that eye. I'm not sure what to do. I've been rinsing it with warm water few times a day since yesterday I can't afford a vet right now so what are my options?

bad eye

good eye

Alright

great to have you joining the BYC flock

Alright get some Bactine and spry on to a Q-tip and just
touch the eye with it and if you do not have anything
them warm water on the Q-Tip and just touch the hurt
area ....

Looks like he got in to the pecking order .....

Maybe, I didn't really start looking at it till last night and the other ducklings (3) others don't peck at each other (not that I see anyway) I thought one looked weird when I got it lol. Would Neosporin work on q tip? I herd it works on the eye. And the white spot is under the clear eye lid it's making his eye stretch is what it looks like

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sorry about your duckling, hope he is OK. X2 on TwoCrows suggestion of posting in the Emergencies and Duck forum about him. I do not like to use anything in the eye that is not listed specifically for ophthalmic use.

It's out !! It felt like a peice of paper in my fingers lady at wilco thought it was goop she seen this before I was about to buy I drops but I took a q tip and gently moved it to the other side of the eye and it eventually came out
