Eye worm remedies

[Rooftop808]

i found out from the vet that my pet quail has worms in her eye! Tiny little worms. When I was young I used to take garlic pills and eat the heads of matches to prevent ticks from burrowing in my skin. Is there something that my clouds can eat that will prevent worms from growing in their eyes?

If I understand correctly Eye worms are from cockroaches. They seem to be fairly common in the tropics.
I've never dealt with them, but you will want to look at all the posts by @dawg53 in this thread. Seems like Valbazen would be your most effective treatment.

Hope that helps.

Valbazen will take care of them. Refer to the link in Wyorp Rock's post.

thanks. I was only looking in the quail blogs, thinking this might be a quail thing.

Eyeworms can affect chickens, quail, guinea fowl, turkeys, etc. If your quail have eyeworms confirmed by your vet, they should have recommended a course of treatment.

Yes, the vet told me how to get rid of the eye worms. I was looking more for eye worm prevention. But after reading the advice of others, seeing it is a roach problem, I think ensuring the area is clean and perhaps taking the birds off the ground might be necessary.
