May we see the other eye for comparison? The right eye appears pretty normal to me.

Have you examined her skin around the feather shafts for any raised lesions?

Infected eye

not infected eye

Yes, I can see the eyes do not quite match. But it doesn't necessarily mean ocular Marek's. The eye in question, while not quite normal, doesn't have the greying and washout of the color in the iris, and the pupil, while not quite a perfect round pupil, isn't the shriveled, irregular pupil we see in an eye with Marek's tumors.

Have you tried flushing the eye and using an ophthalmic antibiotic such as Terramycin in the eye?
