Chickens eye pecked & swollen.

[jordan8]

Hi guys,

so it was about a week ago i noticed my roosters eye had been pecked...i only know he has been pecked because of the 'peck cuts' up and around his face along ,with my observations...unfortunately the day i noticed it i couldn't do anything as we were off out the door to go on holiday for a week. When we came back the eye was still swollen and i decided to wash with saline eye solution which i have been doing for a few days now. there is no signs of improvement yet, is there anything i can give him to help. the eye is a little smelly which indicates infection.....would terramycin or something like that help?

thankyou

Maybe someone can help with the antibiotic meds part. But I had a hen with a swollen and possibly missing eye (looked really bad) I applied neosporin directly on the eye after washing it with a warm soft wet cloth. I did this for a week and she showed improvement just after 3 days. I'm thinking this and an antibiotic should clear it up if it's not too badly damaged... Don't forget to to lock him away until healed.
