Chicken eye injury infection

[ElmCityChickens]

2 year old silkie hybrid with weird white stuff in the eye. I am not sure worms I’ve tried removing it with a q-tip (though it definitely looks like worms). It’s inside a membrane of some sort and I’m not sure how to remove the puss/possible worm/infection. My guess is a possible scratch of some sort that resulted in the infection?

Should I….. poke it with a needle to get the stuff out? I cannot find any information regarding this issue online.

Looks like pus under the third eye lid, get some Teramycin, an antibiotic ointment for eye infections. It could be from an injury. Do not use a needle. Is a vet a possibility?

Thanks! Ordered already. She’s been fighting with another hen lately. Can’t see vet. She is isolated until it heals. Maybe the cornea is damaged.

Sooo…..what happened? Did her eye get better?
