Bubbles in Muscovy Drakes Eyes

[jamband]

its been on and off with him but now the other drake seems to have it going on in one eye......so i assume it is an infection of some sort......Gonna do the ACV with garlic and hot peppers for a few days and see.......Anybody know what it could be? I assume sinus/respiratory related, I had one hit my chickens this summer, they are eating and acting normal, one had slight diarhea too.

Do you have any Oxine Ah? if not I would reccomend you getting some, I'll get the link and you can read for yourself how awesome this stuff is. plus if in the eye you could use a saline wash [warm water] and wash out their eyes. also get some eye salve at the feed store. BRB...

Thank you......so you spray them and add to water? like just a mist over them or wet them?

I mix according to what the directions say on the link I gave you put it into my spray bottle then just spray over their heads so it softly falls down on them and i also add it to their water every third night. I also spray inside the coopps both ducks and chicken the roost and bedding. your duck that is having the eye problem I would spray him directly in the face,

A few of my big drakes do it sometimes, as do the Cornish chickens.. nothing to worry about, just wipe it off when you see it.

do you just dump out the dirty drinking water with oxine in it? the fish warning scared me a little.

fish warning?

fish warning?

there is a disposal warning not to dump effluent containing oxine into water or down drains due to fish toxicity
