Chicken eye .... Photos = 3

[ll]

First photo, not the best light.
Second photo, alot of flash glare.
Third photo is probably the best view.

The other eye = no bump.
Tear duct?

It's hard to say what's going on, is there any other symptoms, like sneezing, possible respiratory. Maybe irritation from possible mites. Maybe a bite.

No other symptoms & treated with poultry dust. (and a bath with flea/tick shampoo)
This 1yr rescue bird has been in quarantine for 10 days.
Also has received first dose of Valbazen.
Anyone else?

Is it draining?

If not this could be a skin tag- a genetic thing, an overgrowth of skin as a result of a previous injury or or infection.

 

[ll]

No draining. Bleh.

But thank you all for posting!
If anyone else would like to guess at it, feel free to post.

Mixed equal parts of valbazen and water and dropped it into both eyes to rule out eyeworm.
That was amazingly easy without a drop spilled anywhere -and the eye socket soaked it right in with no mess. Easy because the hen was wrapped in a receiving blanket. Appropriate because she was also wormed orally in the last 24hrs.

Thank you dawg53 for your informative posts.
Thankfully it's not presenting like the eye problems seen on here.

Will also try neosporin. (the eye doesn't bother her)

Before someone types "don't use the pain relief on hens" The 'caine is what is bad and neosporin doesn't use 'caines.
Pramoxine is okay - check your antibiotic tubes at home before using.
