eye worm

[jahliciyaadaddy]

my barred rock hen was fighting eye worm , so i bought vetrx to treat it an
I've been applying it for about two or three days now , today I checked in on
her and it was great but not heal. I've put socks on her feet because she scratches
it a lot and makes it worse , the socks where the best to do as choice

glad to have you join us, but sorry about the eye worm issue.

Hope the treatment works. The no scratch socks is genius

If you are unsure about the diagnosis or the treatment fails, then pleas post close up pics under emergencies.

Hope she recovers with her vision intact.
