Good evening BYC....
I have a hen with a swollen eye for about a week now. I originally thought she was pecked in the eye because she was holding it shut and it wasn't swollen yet. A day after I noticed it becoming swollen. I have gentimycin opth drops on hand so I called my vet and he said those were ok to use. So I started using those, but her eye is still puffy.
Soooooo I thought she might have an upper respiratory. No other signs of an upper respiratory, but her eye was not improving. I started her on baytril liquid 10% four days ago. Her eye isn't worse, but not improving. Tonight I noticed that her pupil in her eye doesn't dilate/contract. I wonder if that's being caused by the swelling or the eye drops
She still eating/drinking/laying. No discharge from eyes or nose. I feel bad since she is just the sweetest hen. Anybody have any ideas?? Or something else I can be doing for her??
Thank you BYC!!
