Bubbles in Eye Fluid

[Hazeldazel]

I noticed one of my Ameracaunas with bubbles in her eye fluid. I separated her from the flock (dog crate in the basement) and applied an ointment of 1% chloramphenicol (from the vet) a few times daily. After four days things seemed to be back to normal (they went back to normal very quickly, actually) and yesterday I reintroduced her to the flock. THis morning I noticed the bubbles again. All other behavior/traits appear normal. Advice?

Generally eye bubbles, (looking like someone spit into the eye ) is one of the first signs of a respiratory infection, Treat with Tylan injectable, or LS 50 in the water .

Thank you! What is LS 50? Should I put it in the rest of the flock's water too?

As far as I'm concerned, respiratory disease is not contagious. But putting it in the whole flock's water won't hurt. http://www.qcsupply.com/540925-ls-5...&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=productfeeds

I noticed Duramycin water-soluble packets sold at Tractor Supply Co...will that work?

If you treat all the birds , be aware there is an egg withholding time , and is considered an antibiotic ...

This should be the only water they can get into during the treatment time , or they won't get the right dose ...

Unless the other birds are sneezing , or have swollen faces, bubblees in the eyes,, coughing, or bluish combs, I would just treat the one by separating her , for the 7 days ... up to you though ...
