1) What type of bird , age and weight.
9 week old black sex link about 1.5 pounds
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Behaving fine, we just notice eye injury.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
Eye injury. Looks like she has torn some tissue in the inner part of her eyelid and it is floating in her eye.
4) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
See above.
5) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
Do not know, they were free ranging today, so it could have been anything.
6) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
Seems to be eating and drinking fine. When I came home she was hanging out with her other sisters and eating and playing.
7) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
don't know.
8) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
Rinsed her eye with saline solution and put some Ciloxan ointment (human eye anti-biotic) in it.
9 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
Do ourselves unless it gets bad, and then take to vet if necessary.
10) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
Picture below
11) Describe the housing/bedding in use
currently they are in a segregated area in the run away from the bigger girls. In their area they have a rabbit cage where they spend the night with pine shavings.
Please let me know if you think this is something other than trauma. If it is trauma (which we think it is) we are going to keep her in tonight and clean and re-apply the Ciloxan if necessary.
Any Advice Welcome!
Her name is nonsense and we love her very much!
