    Something is wrong with my male guinea's eyes

    Thank you, me too! I was very stressed about this because I've never dealt with a sick bird before. I'm so thankful you told me about the collodial silver @Farmgirl47 ! It seemed to work wonders for him. I never would've thought to try something like that. So I definitely gained some knowledge...

    Something is wrong with my male guinea's eyes

    I have good news! I've been using collodial silver drops in his eyes and nostrils, and I took a gamble and gave him 1/4 of a 25mg benedryl every 8 hours to reduce the swelling and he's MUCH better! The swelling is completely gone, his eyes are open fully, and his nostrils are cleared up! I also...

    Something is wrong with my male guinea's eyes

    I'm hoping I can put it on at least 3 times a day, if that's enough. The only way i can catch him is to use a net and then pick him up from the net (with gloves...sharp little toe nails!) And then once I have him he's totally calm. Which I'm surprised he's like that since he's not exactly tame...

    Something is wrong with my male guinea's eyes

    I just caught the guinea and treated him. I couldn't tell this just by looking at him earlier, but his head is hot, his face and waddles are swollen and he has dried yellow snot in his nostrils. But he's still acting normal. So now I'm deeply concerned this is worse than I thought. This may...

    I have a mean silkie rooster

    So sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this thread! I've been so busy with all of my birds and have gotten some new additions! Now I'm dealing with an 11 week old guinea with conjuctivitus...ugh! So I got rid of the aggressive roo and 2 other silkie roosters that wouldn't leave the hens...

    Something is wrong with my male guinea's eyes

    I found collodial silver at a health food store an hour away from me. So I'm going to wipe his eyes out then put it in his eyes tonight. I just hope I can help him. And I hope my others don't get it. I decided that I have no choice but to pen up my adult males and let the babies out during the...

    Something is wrong with my male guinea's eyes

    Yes I think it just happened yesterday. So bad news, no where around my area has collodial silver. Walmart has it online but i can't wait 2 days. I'm so upset and worried about him. I'm quarantining him now. Should I call tractor supply and ask if they have anything for this? I think it may just...

    Something is wrong with my male guinea's eyes

    I don't have any but I can buy some. I finally was able to get some pictures of him. He just ran into my son's leg and the wall cause he can't see. I'm definitely going to catch him but I just want to put whatever is best in his eye. I've seen many different things online about what I can put in...

    Something is wrong with my male guinea's eyes

    Okay so I'm very concerned about one of my young male guinea's eyes. I noticed yesterday that his left eye was swollen and half way shut. I figured one of the others pecked him, or he just got something in it. Today I noticed that both eyes are swollen shut and the poor thing can't see and keeps...

    I have a mean silkie rooster

    Hello! My name is Kim and I'm new here. I hope I posted this in the right forum topic. Since I'm new I wasn't sure, so if it's not right I apologize I bought 3 adult silkie roos, 2 adult silkie hens, and 8 silkie chicks (ranging from 3 weeks-2 months old) a few months ago. I already had 10...
