Bubbles in the eyes?

Date sort Score sort
I realise this is an old post but one of my birds is sneezing almost constantly, wheezing at times, bubbles in the corners of both eyes, some of my other birds are sneezing occasionaly. I got all 9 chickwns last week crom different places within 2 days of each other. The sickest one is 5/6 months old, hasn't laid yet. I only got her/them last week but she was already sick when I bought her and being a newb I didn't realise this!

So, I've booked a vet appointment for today. But I just want to know what you guys think.. And if there is anything I can give my other birds? Ive got two over a year, one who's just over POL, my sick bird who is POL and five 9 week old chicks. They've all been together just over a week.
 
My hen suffered from foamy eyes and gurgling/sneezing a few weeks ago. Took her to the birrd vet and after testing we learned she had mycoplasma. I separated her from the flock at first sign of symptoms and treated her for two weeks with tetracycline purchased at the feed store. After two weeks, she was well enough to be returned to the flock. Vet said that likely the new chicks I introduced a couple weeks prior brought the mycoplasma with them and all the hens were no doubt already explosed, so it was OK to integrate sick one back into flock after she recovered.

Since mycoplasma is not treatable, I will just be managing this disease and will have to treat if symptoms reappear again. This week all the hens are doing fine.
 
There are a lot of different strains of Mycoplasma. Which medicine(s) will help most depends on what strain your chickens have. Some possible medicines to try are listed on the Chicken Medicine Chart on my PoultryPedia.com site. --Sorry the chart's hard to look through. I'm hoping to improve technology later, but want to at least put some of the info out there :)
