About five days ago, my rooster sustained an eye injury. His eyes were normal before this, and then he appeared to get into a fight. When I found him, his head was bloody and the eyelid on the injured side was swollen and inflamed. I cleaned the area with saline and applied an antibiotic eye ointment 2x daily for five days. This is definitely an injury, not an illness.
At this point, his pupil and iris appear deformed and misplaced. His third eyelid moves freely across the eye. The eye is able to open and close normally, eyeball shape looks fine, no punctures seen, there is no discharge, and the swelling has resolved. I’m looking for guidance on what these signs might indicate and whether additional treatment may be needed or if time will tell. He is not in any distress.
It was extremely hard to take a picture. Since he is still sensitive to light.
What’s frustrating is he was outside all by himself. A few months ago he sustained an injury from a predator attack possible owl, or eagle. He healed from that… but then this. Never seems to end.
