    Eye infection, how long does it heal?

    Eye infection, how long does it heal?

    Eye infection, how long does it heal?

    No worms but there are mites! I haven't seen them on the head though. Mostly they hide on the body or under the wings, sometimes a couple of them end up on my hands after handling the chick. No idea if I have those medications available, I wil have to ask the vet..

    Eye infection, how long does it heal?

    Found this chick (we think it’s 1-2 weeks old) on the street 3 days ago. It was in terrible shape, both eyes closed, crusted over and dirty. Not eating, drinking or doing much. Took it to a vet that prescribed terramycin eye ointment and chamomile drops to clean the eyes 2-3 times a day. His...

    It feels like the chick was quite neglected.. I doubt someone lost it. The eyes are better now, no worries! :)

    Sure! I’m in Mexico so they’re in Spanish but basically it’s a sterile solution with chamomile. I use a couple drops on some cotton pads to clean the eyes. It supposedly helps a bit with inflammation :)

    Rescued a baby chick from the street :)

    It’s in Monterrey, Mexico, quite an urban area. It was on the curb by my house, dirty and very miserable looking. It’s eyes were swollen shut, crusted over and very dirty. The street is kinda busy, lots of foot traffic

    It’s alright! I think she’s about 2 weeks old according to photos I’ve been seeing. The wing feathers are quite developed but that’s it. And she seems quite small still
