URGENT!!! SICK DUCK! PLEASE HELP

@DiamondSwan evidentally it’s harder to get some things there than here. It would be nice if she could get the Nutri drench and liquid b complex.
This vitamin is just as good and actually better in my opinion..Anyways I'd give her time to rest and see how she does. Tube feeding isnt recommended if the bird is in serious condition physically.
 
What is the vita sol for?
She is inside now. I tried to feed her some wet feed before bringing her inside I dipped her into it and she chewed like three times and then didn't do anything else I she had a sip of water and when I brought her in and set her down she sort of fell over so I tucked her legs underneath then brought her wings together and held her bring her head up. I placed her near the water and food so hopefully if she gets hungry she will eat something.
I figured the eye injury was from the matng but I am unsure about the leg as she seemed to be walking fine before I brought her inside.
 
Ok, you need to listen to @casportpony! She knows what she's talking about and has had great success many times! You can get aquarium tubing at any pet store in Canada and probably even a Walmart type store like K-mart or whatever you have in Canada that is a big store that has everything including pet supplies. This is not hard to do and she will walk you through it! Please listen to her!

Yes, at this point, tube-feeding may be the only option...

Can you get a baseline weight on her? I cannot begin to stress how important this is. To quote my vet "it's not usually disease that kills them, it's dehydration and starvation", and sadly I know this to be true. While tubing won't save all of them, it will keep them from dying due to starvation and dehydration.

Knowing how much weight she is losing and being able to correct that will go a long way in her recovery.

I wouldn't worry too much about her not being able to walk, just do what you can to get some vitamins for her, and get a scale so you can weigh her.

I am going to the store soon. I will get a scale I found that PetSmart has the vitasoll which is just vitamins? That you put into their water so I will pick that up I can't find a place to get that nutri Dench stuff and if the Vita Sol is just vitamins then I guess that would include vitamin b? I'm sorry I'm new at this. Is there any way to feed her with a syringe without having to insert a tube into her? Is that something I can try first?
