@Eringm Any other symptoms like drainage from nares or unusual breathing? Need to rule out sinus infections. But maybe he poked it on something which what you need to do is put out 1 bucket of water with Apple cider vinegar in it 1 Tab to 1 gallon of water this will give him something to wash his head in and acv can help kill some bacteria if infection. Yo also need to head to the feed store if you don't have any Terramycin eye ointment or Veterycin spray for wounds and infections. Your going to have to let him clean his eyes out real good then examine what is going on in the eye. I hold my gander between my legs while I am standing face him away from me hold onto his neck but if you hold him tight you can probably use both hands to check his eye out. You def want to treat this asap.
Did you get a look at the eye itself? what does it look like? I'd clean out the eye a couple times a day the last time right before closing them up for the night and maybe remove water and feed over night so he doesn't wash it off. I'd still get some ointment or the spray his eye looks pretty bad. Just use the 8Oz of salt water to rinse 2-3X a day. Till healed.
