Eye infection

[therealestchicken]

My chick panda has got an eye infection it seems it’s watery and bubbly what can I give her?

Antibiotics. Or, you can use Neosporin without the pain relief ingredient and Shmoo her eye 2-3x a day. I have been doing this for myself and my pets for over a decade and a half based on an old vet tech's advice. Any eye infection-- Neosporin.

How old is she? Could she have been pecked in the eye? Bubbly eyes can sometimes be from conjunctivitis and MG infection. I would flush the eye with saline or an eye wash twice a day, followed by applying a small dab of Terramycin eye ointment or plain Neosporin/triple antibiotic ointment if that is not available, into the eye. I would also get some Tylosin powder and treat for possible MG. Dosage is 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days. Here is where to find Tylosin:

Did you hatch the eggs or get chicks from someone else? MG can be passed through a hatching egg of a carrier, and it also can be transmitted by a carrier recently added to a flock, or by wild birds visiting feeders.
