Could use some help on chicken eye problem!

[majortaylor]

Well Winnie has gotten worse this morning. She can’t stand straight and rolls her head around. I’m wondering if this is wry neck or an inner ear problem.
We’ve asked our vet friend to come look at her.
Does anyone know if treating her for wry neck would hurt her if she doesn’t have it?

The lower eyelid looked swollen in the picture, so I would consider using Tylan 50 if you don't mind antibiotics. Dosage is 0.2 ml per pound given twice a day ORALLY or by injection, for 5 days.

Ear infections can accompany respiratory infections. Is she rolling her head in a spasmotic way? Videos posted to YouTube or Vemeo with a link here can be helpful, or a pic. Wry neck is usually a twisted neck down, up, or to the side. It is a symptom, more than an illness. Poultry vitamins such as NutriDrench or Poultry Cell 2-3 ml daily would be good for that.

Let us know what your vet friend thinks.

This is how she is holding her head constantly now.
I went and got her the Tylan 50 and have given her the first dose. I also made the mixture for wry neck from vitamin e tablets, selenium and poly vi sol and gave her some as well.
The poor thing can’t drink very well so I’ve been giving her mashed food with water.
I hope it’s not too late for her. She still eats a good amount and fights us when we give her the syringe of medication.
