In the Brooder
I've recently experienced an eye issue with my silver seabright roo. Pus in his eye; I've expressed the swollen area around the eye from different angles around the eye, forcing the pus out. The plug has a tail on the end as it was inside the front of the eye socket. I cleaned it as much as possible then packed it with triple antibiotic ointment. I sprayed vetrycin on any parts of his body where the pus has transfered. He tucks his head in his wing feathers so i keep that sprayed to keep any possible secondary infection at bay. He has relief, but the pus returns after a week. I've tried vet rx, vetrycin gel & opthamalic gel, but think the triple antibiotic works the best. I haven't tried Tylan yet. Ive heard injecting Tylan 50 might be exactly what he needs.
If anyone has suggestions on dosage of injectable tylan ( or oral) to give, that would be helpful.
The deal is, i can treat this issue, but haven't a clue of treating the source of the problem! Thx for anyone's input!
