Hi all,
I have a baby Frizzled chick and I have had her a week +. About 3 days ago I bathed her, she was real nasty from where she came. I noticed her eye was matted shut, I cleaned it and thought maybe it was just from the food and other chick. Well I have kept an eye on it and it has gotten worse.
Yesterday the eye became hairless and swollen, I again cleaned it, the swelling went down and she eventually opened her eye.
Today, the was swollen again, so I cleaned it again, today all I could see was white, I thought she had lost her eye, but I continued to clean it just in case it was pus, and it was. A huge amount of pus came out.
On the outter soft membrane of the eye is a long pink line looking like a scratch, and I noticed today her scratching it. So I am not sure if that is what happened.
Anyway, since the pus is on the inside what can I give her to make the infection go away?
Thanks
