Eye infection, yellow mass?

[Zhaze]

Oh my goodness y'all.

I couldn't do it but my husband, who has a much stronger stomach than me, was able to get it out. I'm not sure if we removed it all, so we may have to do this again tomorrow. But I wanted to give her a break.
Her eye ball has a white film on it and I'm thinking it may be a goner.

The pus had no smell btw.

I put terramycin ointment into the eye and put her down to rest a bit.

Be warned, graphic photos below.

That looks so much better. Hopefully her eye will get better, and that she will still have sight at some point. The Tylan and Terramycin ointment hopefully will help. Keep us posted.

thank you!

We checked it again today and it's still got a white cap on her eye but when we tried to scrape it off it wasn't budging. I didn't want to scrape too much with the instruments cause I'm scared that the cap is her eye and not pus.

We may try again tonight but she's gone through so much trauma that I don't want to push it.


We filled the eye again with terramycin and are still continuing with Tylan.

Anyone else have a bird that ended up with a white cap on their eye after pus removal?

Good job! Can you get a close up of her eye?

Can I use Boric acid on chickens eye to help healing? Where can I get some Tylan?

Welcome to BYC!

Don't know about boric acid. You can get Tylan at a feed store or online.

So glad I came upon this thread. I just removed one of these for the first time. Wow! It’s incredible how much stuff can be in such a small space. These poor girls! How did your girl fare?

Good job! I just ordered a couple curettes (got the idea off another thread) in case I ever have to do this.
