did the pox leave scars ? I dont think i had it. I know i didnt but i am not fond of mirrors myself for other reasons. LOLHow strange. I was planning to pm Kathy and ask her to check in here for some more advice. You beat me to it!She is on my local thread and really knows her stuff. She researches everything and helps people no matter how many times she's repeated herself.![]()
campingshaws, so sorry about your birds. As horrible as it looks, they can recover. It happened to me. I was 25 when I got chicken pox. It was really ugly. I covered all the mirrors in the house, because my face was so deformed, it would make me depressed and panicky at the same time. Took a long while, but I recovered just fine. Still not overly fond of mirrors, though.
The only thing I can add is to make sure the Neosporin does NOT have pain reliever in it. Things ending with "-caine" like lidocaine, can be fatal for some chickens.
Oh, and an eye wash is different than saline solution. It has a small amount of boric acid which makes it a good antiseptic. Better for your needs than saline.
