Foamy eye and comb sores

[Vickischics]

Here are a few pictures of a 4 mos old. Please advice.
Eye is foamy. Blister like lesions on comb.
Wet Fowl pox?
If so, what is the treatment.
No other flock members are infected yet. Chick is separated.

It may very well be fowl pox. I'd apply ophthalmic ointment on the eye to ward off secondary bacterial infection. The virus will have to run its course.

Thats what I was hoping.
Thank you!

Yes, fowl pox has no cure. It will run its course in two or three weeks. Care should be given to safeguard eyesight and that the patient is eating and drinking okay as lesions inside the throat could block the esophagus and airway.

You need to be prepared to tube feed liquids and food if the patient's throat becomes blistered. Take care that the other chickens have no contact as this is contagious. Being in a mosquito area, this is a risk to chickens. There is a vaccine you can immunize future chicks against this.

What do I buy for the chicks?
Where do I get the antibiotic for the eye?

Ask for terramycin eye ointment at your feed store. You can find the vaccine at online vet supply outfits.
