This is An SOS

Went to let my ducks out this morning and found my poor Agnes like this. What in the world has happened to this poor girl and how do I treat it???

 

[Miss Lydia]

Possibly a drake in mating? I’d use a warm water salt mixture and poor over the eye then use Terramycin eye ointment. Is it both or just the one?

Thank you so much for reaching out. I don't think it was that at all. I put out apple cider vinegar water should I replace that with regular water? I worried it could be foamy eye. Can I start antibiotics too? Also is there a possibility its conjunctivitis?

Also yes it's just the one eye.

Drakes can grab hold and injure an eye when mating, once you wash it off real good it might be a good idea to try an open the eye and make sure she didn’t accidentally poke her eye on something. Warm salt water compresses can help loosen gunk around the eye.

It looks like her eye is missing. She hasn't been being mated at all my drake that's been mating cares nothing about her. Its possible she poked it out on something I guess. Should I replace the acv water and just offer fresh? I'm worried that will sting her now. Also can I use this on it till I can pick up the terramycin today?

 

[Miss Lydia]

It says safe to use around the eyes not sure about in. So her eye is gone? Clean it as best you can and keep her in as clean an area as possible get the Terramycin because that should help with infection. Poor thing that had to of hurt. I’d look all around for what may have done this and if the eye may still be there then at least you know what did this. She may need some oral antibiotics also. @casportpony would be best to help with that.

 

[Miss Lydia]

If your using ACV at 1 Tablespoon to a gal of water it won’t sting doesn’t really even taste like there is ACV in the water.

I gave her an oral antibiotic when I flushed it. Eye is gone. Searched the pen found no evidence of a struggle.

That looks pretty unpleasant. Does she hold her head up when on the ground? How many females do you have? Is she eating/drinking like normal basically?
