Chickens with swollen eyes

[AHDCST]

I just finally late yesterday got ahold of my BR pullet and checked and sure enough she has a white wiggly looking worm in the bottom of her eye. I called my local TSC and Southern States and nobody knew what I was talking about or how to treat it. Any help would be appreciated.

I never saw the eye worms on my chickens, but I did see the bubbles and they smelled. VetRx is the name... I drew a blank earlier. I used it by pressing up with a Qtip soaked in VetRx on the pallet and it made the eye of the chicken bubble more and then I could clean the eye with a rag. I did this twice a day while the chickens were isolated from other chickens. They all got better! I also gave them plenty of fresh veggies.

Quote:
Mix equal parts of valbazen and water, then flush the eye(s) with it. Then dose your infected bird orally 1/2cc valbazen. Repeat this entire procedure in 10 days. There's a 24 day egg withdrawal start to finish.

What are the causes of these diseases

My chicken has a swollen eye and black spots on her comb. I just noticed it tonight. Not skinny yet. Is this eye worm?

One of my girls had the same - weepy closed eye & lethargic. It could be a bacterial infection. I got some antibiotic eye drops from the chemist (for human conjunctivitis!). 1 drop twice a day in the affected eye & she was almost back to normal in 2 days. Hope this is useful xx
