Black spot in hens eye

[edgy6ellie]

So today i noticed my hen being alot quieter than usual, so Ive had a look at her and the only things i can find wrong is this black spot coming out of her pupil, it seems like its irritating her as she has this eye shut most of the time, its dilating but only very slightly.

She also seems to have a swollen belly and isnt eating much… im not sure whats going on but any help is appreciated!

The swollen belly could be ascites, see link: https://poultrydvm.com/condition/ascites-syndrome

Not sure why there's a black spot in her eye. Keep an eye out for skin lesions and dark scabs in case it's fowl pox, but that doesn't seem very likely. I suggest giving her NutriDrench or something similar in case she has a vitamin deficiency

I cannot see the spot clearly enough to have an idea of what it might be. If she has a swollen belly and isn't eating then it sounds like ascites which could be from a cancer or other reproductive problem. Those usually end up being terminal, but how long she has is pretty variable, depending on exactly the cause. The fluid is usually from a liver that is leaking fluid into the abdomen, and causes are varied. If she's not feeling well, then others may be picking on her, and she may have been pecked in the eye. If you have some terramycin or plain neosporin you can use a bit of that in the eye a couple of times a day. If you can get better pictures of the eye it might help.
