Date sort Score sort
NAME ME ALL THE ANTIBIOTICS and also NAME ME ALL THE EYEDROPS
I NEED TO GET IT DONE BY TOMORROW
i don't get them from here easily so if you add a list maybe I'll be able to find any of them?
 
I understand you are frustrated and love your rooster dearly.

It is very hard to make a suggestion, when we don't know exactly the cause of the eye infection. Whether it is respiratory related or bacterial.

Here is my opinion. @speckledhen and @casportpony may have better suggestions.

If is from a respiratory infection, then try to get some Tylan or Oxytetracycline.

If it is from an E.Coli or unkown bacterial infection then Ciprofloxcin eye drops may be better.

In the meantime, you can make your own saline/salt solution to wash the eye out 2x a day.
Mix 1/2teaspoon of salt with 1cup of water and put it in a pot. Bring your salt solution to a boil and boil for 15minutes. Let the solution cool completely before you use it. Make a fresh solution everyday and store in a clean container.

Yes, she sure does. She's very healthy and still does everything she's always done.

Yes, but that is really just a rinse that may be soothing. This is one thing I'd get if at all possible-it's an antibiotic eye ointment. It's a very small tube, here costing about $20.

This is good advice from Wyorp Rock. Other than getting a topical ointment inside the eye and an antibiotic known for respiratory stuff, like Tylan (injectible or powder to mix into water) or the Baytril that casportpony suggested, there's not much you can do except keep his eyes clean of the crud in them as much as possible.

Also look at these:

So many bacteria are resistant to tylosin (Tylan) and/or the "cyclines", so that's why I think Baytril (enrofloxacin) would be the best choice. Yes, it's banned for use in poultry in many countries, but if it's mycoplasma, coryza, E. coli, pseudomonas aeruginosa, or a combo, it should do the trick, though one friend of mine had a strain of pseudomonas aeruginosa that was resistant to it and had to go to an even stronger drug which one cannot get without a prescription.
