Oh wow thanks for catching that. The other pictures I have demonstrate the same thing. Could it possible be a feather quill? Like an ingrown? The thickness of it in the picture is from puss I think, but when I investigated last night it was long, thin, flexible but hard in consistency. With it coming out from the skin, do you think it’s save to say that I can try further to remove it? Followed by topical antibiotics?
Your welcome, I'm not sure what it could be my thoughts were that it's maybe a feather or straw .either way yes I myself would remove it and clean the wound . It appears that whatever it is is trying to works it way out that's why we see the small bit coming out her face so it might be easier to pull it the rest of the way through the path it has chosen. I wish you the best of luck with this.
it does look like pus but presumably there is something there to have caused it.
Hi! I tried manipulating it again shortly after I received some feedback here and on further inspection is indeed had not passed through the skin - definitely lodged deep into the lower eye lid. I truly think, based on the consistency of it, that it was an ingrown feather.. So I monitored it, it wasn't getting worse and then about 10 days later it was gone! Her eye is completely normal now
See below, it came out on its own
