Frothy eye

[Chiknsrcool]

Having symptoms of MG is not a death sentence. Most people with a chronic respiratory disease would close their flocks—no birds in, no birds out. You can try treating the bird with symptoms with one of the antibiotics. She may get better, and she might never get symptoms again. But she might get sick again during a time of stress. MG is common in some backyard flocks.

Ok that’s a relief, also I had a crow collar on him and when I took it off froth came out of his mouth and now the froth is gone from his eye and the swelling seems to have gone down a bit so do y’all think it could have just been that? Either way I’m not using a crow collar again.

I dont know anything about crow collars.

I would watch him. I have no idea if the no crow collar did that or not.

His eye is now swollen shut and we are looking to go see a vet

Hopefully, the vet will start a good antibiotic. If they recommend euthansia, the body can be sent to the state vet for a necropsy and testing for MG or other diseases. Let us know what the vet has to say.
