Eye problem

[Be_Low671]

Woke up yesterday morning to find out one of my chickens eyes looked to be swollen and his other eye is normal but checking it today it looked to have foam around it and his other eye looks like it’s swelling. Need help asap!!!

@Eggcessive Is this MG?

It could be MG, but testing is the only way to confirm it. Is there a bad odor from the face or not? Is there any sneezing, coughing, head shaking, or acting lethargic? I would flush the eye with saline or eye wash, and apply Terramycin ointment (from the feed store,) or plain Triple Antibiotic Ointment twice a day. Tylan 50 injectable can be given orally, or Tylosin powder in the water can help symptoms of MG.

I observed him for a couple minutes, he doesn’t have any other symptoms other than swollen eyes but I did gave him an antibiotic pill (amoxicillin tylosin) and checking him this morning, his swollen eye went down and he’s opening it half way now. I guess the antibiotics is helping him
