    Swollen eye

    Well, tried to find tylan injectable to better control the dosing but only found 200. Imagine I could just use 25%, but I didn't purchase. One more vet supply place I'll check tomorrow when they're open, and otherwise use the soluble. Ty again for the input from all.

    OK, so feed it to the flock then...? Also, is dosing proper to that strength on mine? TSC simply said "there's nothing like that in the fridge." is that where the tylan 50 would be? Ty for your help

    Maran Pullet with swollen, closed eye

    Thank you @kimspangrude for the video... I have a hen with what seems to be the same situation, but all around the eye is very swollen. I was curious when you lanced why you chose inside the eyelid (it seemed).? Mine seems it would be possible outside, so I wanted to get some input.

    Ty for that video... Would seem I may need to grab the lancing materials and give it a go.... The Tylan was already on my list as of yesterday seeing no real improvement. Hen is healthy and without any symptoms of illness.... Broody, so was probably lacking nutrients to fight anything quite as...

    It seems a little more solid than the pus in the video. She really bucks and gets loose when trying to press it out.

    Wow... No, I haven't. I'll try, but dang, looks like that chicken's already missing her eye ball... There was some crusty, so I'll try. Would yiuh say that's a better idea than lancing it?

    Swollen eye

    My buff orp has a badly infected eye. Haven't yet worked up the courage to Lance it, but have been treating it with an ophthalmic terramycin 2/day. Have read a lot of threads about similar stuff, but not as many with good outcomes documented from specific treatments. If this gel does not it...

    The Ameraucana Thread: Where everything and anything about the breed can be discussed (APA, Non-Stan

    Couldn't help but upload this. This is Jewels, and was named because all of her marking on her face made us think of her like a princess. Jewels is from a hatchery, so I am not sure if she is ameraucana or EE, either way, she is a very vocal little girl!

    I have also hesitated to give antibiotics. I am just looking for input. I also need to look into how to cull, as this would be my first. In my head I see a cutting board and a butcher knife, but that seems a bit off! I don't want to take her fighting chance but also don't want her to suffer.

    Would I be off base to try the antibiotics, in the slight chance its CRD, or what would you do if it was your chick?

    Ok, last line, no treatment . . . Not what I was hoping to see, but the CRD of Mycoplasm types seem to not quite fit due to the clear eyes and noses if I am understanding them correctly . . ?
