White Spot in Eye

[Smuvers Farm]

Can you weigh the duckling?

63 grams It's the tiny one of the bunch

Might be an eye infection. Do you have an antibacterial eye ointment or drops? Any oral or injectable antibiotics?

Where could I find injectable antibiotics?

 

[Smuvers Farm]

OK, not sure if I should separate since not sure if it's contagious. Going to put some of the antibiotic cream in it's eye and put it to bed. Almost 11 here. Please, everyone, keep leaving comments as I'll come straight here when I get up to see what I can do to help my ducklet. Thank you!!!

Couple of questions... How old is it? What breed is it? And how does it look this morning?

About a week old. Mallard or Rouen. Looks about the same. I can get some tylan 50 from TSC today but not sure about a small enough needle.

I would not inject it because I think it's too small and Tylan injections can cause severe injection site reactions. Howdos the eye look this morning? Is there an chance you can take it to a vet?

We only have one vet in the area that is trustworthy and they are adamantly opposed to treating backyard poultry, to include chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, etc.

Checked the eye again and there white spot is still there however, it looks like the weepiness has cleared up, so perhaps the antibiotic eye cream is working....

Keep giving it and hopefully the white spot will go away too.
