Unknown Sickness/Disease/Infection HELP!!!!

How do you know she can't see well? Also describe her eyes if they look different to normal and if they do look different than normal can you also look at her tongue.

I believe her eyelids appear normal. I’m not sure if you’ve read through this entire thread, but two weeks ago, she had mucus all over her beak and a bit around her eyelids. However, she hasn’t had that since that day. It was only a one-day occurrence, but she still doesn’t see well quickly— the unusual part.

I did read that. Your vet diagnosed vitamin deficiency so I am looking at issues thru that lens. Having said that the eye thing could be an unrelated additional issue.

Apparently, the tongue is a good indication if vitamin A deficiency is messing with mucous membrane on the eyelids. We could rule this out at least. Did your vet not comment on the eye/sinus event?

The vet never mentioned her tongue, but I suspect it might be dry. However, I’m not familiar with what a healthy duck’s tongue should look like, so I can’t make a definitive assessment. Nevertheless, I’ll compare her tongue to another duck’s today and let you know the difference. It would be helpful if you could provide some descriptions of a healthy duck’s tongue.

Look for white plaque on the roof of mouth or back of tongue.

That can indicate vitamin A deficiency.

Ok I will look.

I will send pictures in the morning.

Here the picture.
Does it look normal?
It was more pale a week ago.

Is this normal?

I agree with your vet, and her tongue looks normal.
