2 Week Old Chick With Eye Problem

[tec27]

One of my chicks has a problem with one of its eyes. It seems really watery or like there is pus in it. I cant really tell. The feathers around the eye are wet and will not fluff up. Im assuming its from the leaky eye. The other chicks he is with dont have any problems. Any suggestions?





Im starting to do warm compresses and just put a little ACV in their water.

Do you have antibiotics?

No. What kind would i even need?

Do you think that another chick could have caused injury to the eye?

Duramycin-10, I keep this on hand for my flock. Eye problems can be linked with respiratory illnesses. Is any one else having an issue?

No everyone else is fine. This chick is fine too. Well acts fine anyway. His eye seems to bother me more than him.

Hmmm. I would just watch then. I like to keep antibiotics on hand, I know that some people prefer not too. But the ACV is usually used for sour crop, correct?

Its used as an organic treatment for everything really. Boost immune system or something. Im not against antibiotics though. I can just get Duramycin 10 online or at TSC right?
