I have a 1 year old polish rooster who somehow managed to injure his eye. This was a little over 3 weeks ago now. i've had him inside and have been cleaning his eye of goo 2 x per day and put antibiotics in the water to help fight infection. as advised by a local pharmacy i applied an eye ointment every night for 7 days, but this hasnt helped either. it is as if there is a swelling over his eyeball, if you move this out of the way his eye is intact underneath. everyday there is a new covering of 'cheese' puss over his eye which i have to smooth off with a piece of wet cotton wool/q-tip (warm salted water). he seems happy enough in himself, eating drinking and getting around fine. im just worried about the puss (infection?) and the effect on his eyeball.
what else can i try for him? should i carry on with the eye ointment (optim-something cant remember the whole name will have to look later when im home)? more/different antibiotics? (hes on denagard) you can see the amount of discharge that comes out by the mess round his feathers., should i perhaps cut some of his crest away for now??
