The following did work for my chicken
Swollen eye, closed by eye lid swelling, weeping, the smell of necrotic tissue. Read on and you will find out why it got that far along. Early intervention is best.
7.00 Baytril 2.5% Injection.
Given 0.6 mL orally twice a day for 5 days (crop feeding)...
This spring I bought 3 Muscovy ducks, two females and one male. Since the start I noticed that something was a bit different with the right eye of the white female.
During the summer months it didn't seem that bothered with the eye but now that the weather is around -3C to +9C here in Norway...
Hi everyone!
I went to my dads today and one of my hens has a swollen red spot above her right eye.
It’s isnt obstructing her vision and she looks and acts completely normal aside from her little lump (so no mucus or weeping or anything like that), there was also no abrasion and the other eye...
I have a 6 month Roo who I noticed today and a milky eye, he keeps it closed, so it must be painful. Otherwise he seems “okay” he is still walking fine, although slowly. He however is not eating or drinking. Is more docile than usual. Could it be mareks? Or just an injury and the pain is...
Hi everyone! This is my 7 year old boy, Edwin. For the last couple of weeks I've noticed he has had the feathers around his eyes looking a bit "dirty". They have access to drinking water they can get their heads into and a small bath in their enclosure. After noticing this I've made a special...
Hi everyone! So i have a d’uccle thats eye seems to be a little messed up. I noticed a couple days ago, but i thought maybe she just accidentally got pecked. I rinsed with some saline & left it alone. The next day, it looked .. foggy? That freaked me out and when i looked some things up it said...
This is a 6 month old frizzle Cochin bantam. He got into a fight with one of the flock mates and as a result this happened. I think his eyelid was torn and is now just flappy and rubs on his eye. This just happened today. I don't know if I should trim it off since I'm assuming it'll never...
Hello all!
I was experimenting letting my Broody hen raise a chick she hatched and she was doing a great job the whole first day, very protective from the other chickens. However the other chickens must have caught her off guard at some point because I found the 3 day old chick with a huge...
First, thanks to everyone who has offered advice and support for little Henrietta! She was bullied at the store by the larger & stronger chicks and was in trouble. She's clearly a very strong little gal. She battled for life a day or two before being noticed. I imagine that coming into such...
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...
I had a silver apple yard hen only about 9 mos. old. She was a runt and pretty much unable to lay eggs, every time she did lay an egg, they were very tiny or not well formed. Two days ago she didn't want to come out of her house in the morning, I thought maybe because she didn't want me to...
I have a 2 yo buff Orpington that has a swollen face around her right eye. It came on in a matter of hours, she was fine when I let them out in the morning yesterday, then in the afternoon it was swollen. I gave her .5ml children’s Benadryl yesterday, along with some antibiotic ointment on the...
I just hatched some chicks this past Saturday and today I realized that one of my chicks eye doesn't look normal...
Sorry that the picture isn't very clear. He seems to be able to see okay but this eye also looks a little bit watery.
Thoughts?
We just noticed this morning and it couldn't have been going on more than a few days. Her other eye seems fine, and she is acting totally normal. I don't notice anything weird with any of the other chickens either. I tried looking up exactly what it was but couldn't find any pictures that looked...
Hi guys, I’m a first time chicken mom, so very new to this. We got 3 babies a week ago. Our barred rock chick is the littlest, I’m guessing 10 days old. Just this evening I noticed she has a lump above one of her eyes and it’s pushing on the eye. I didn’t notice anything there yesterday, but I...
I was moving my coop to give the chicks some fresh grass to scratch at and while I do this it is hard to see where they are. When I put down one of the ends a chicken was packing under a support beam and was pinned under it for a 10 to 15 seconds. Once I realized I immediately got it free and it...
I got my chicks 3 days ago and one of them can't open or close one of her eyelids. It is a little swollen but is not noticeable until you really look hard. When I touch it, it is impossible to move. I have been trying to wet it but it does not seem to be helping.
I will try to get a picture soon.
About a week ago I know it's my chickens I was raised and inflamed looking. I did a little research and decided to get some antibiotic appointment called terramycin and a pilot for several days and I haven't really noticed any change. The chicken acts normal otherwise. I was wondering if...
Yesterday I lost a 1-week old Brahma chick from what I can guess was failure to thrive. She was the only one who hadn’t grown and constantly had pasty butt even with cleanings and Vaseline.
This morning, I woke up to a Jersey Giant chick, same age, who is trying to scratch her eyelid. I...
i believe my chicken may have either got her eyes pecked at or she scratched them, I’ve isolated her so she doesn’t get picked on, Ive been giving her electrolyte water by syringe what about food? She doesn’t seem to be able to see the food I put out for her, is there a way to make her take...
