What’s wrong with my ducks eye?

[CamilleTeagan]

I got 2 ducks about a week ago and this one little guy seems to have something wrong with his eye. He has a large pool of water to submerge his head in, I have used Terramycin on my ducks eye, and he has some electrolyte-probiotic-immune powder for his water which all has seemed to help a little bit but there seems to be an abscess of fluid by the eye. it started to look better but the bump with some sort of fluid is still there. any advice on what this is/ the best way to treat it?!!
Thank you!
I have attached two photos: the closed eye is before the terramycin and once it was a little opened was after the terramycin.

I don't know what it is, I am sure someone more experienced can help you. Best wishes for your duckling(s

Are you still using the Terramycin? Any discharge coming from the eye or nares? is a vet an option? Hear any congestion?
If it's an abscess a vet would be best.

I believe since i’ve started the terramycin there has been some discharge from his eye. no congestion I think it’s just that eye

You might try some nice warm compresses and see if that helps bring down the swelling. You can put some Epsom salt into some warm water soak a washcloth wring so it's not dripping and place over the swelling. I'd keep using the Terramycin.
Is the swelling hard or fluid-filled?
But if you don't see improvement and swelling gets larger I'd try and get a vet to take a look.

I would absolutely get him to a vet asap, in the meantime, I agree with Miss Lydia, warm compresses may help reduce swelling

I think it is fluid filled. Hopefully that all helps this sweet boy.

Can you see an injury like he may have poked his face on something?
