I have a Silkie pullet that has had an ongoing eye issue/infection. Her eye is very watery (to the point her top knot is all crusty on that side of her head) with occasional "foam" in the corner of her eye. I never see any white or thick discharge.
Here is what I have tried so far but nothing seems to bring her relief.
1. Saline wash with Neosporin applied twice daily
2. Teramycin eye ointment
3. Thought it might be a mite or scabie of some sort so I tried a drop of frontline on her head, neck and belly
4. Deworming with Safeguard
5. I'm now using Cytogen eye wash followed by a Gentamycin eye ointment twice daily. I have trimmed all of the hair around her eyes - she now has a mowhawk!
None of this is having any effect. She is eating/drinking/acting normal but does scratch at her eye and has lost her eyelashes. The other eye is completely normal!
Any suggestions on what else I can try?
