HELP! Chicken Eye Issue

[jslater14]

A little background - about a year ago, one of our Rhode Island Reds was acting sick. She would just sit in the yard, wouldn’t really move and she had what looked like a white film over one of eyes. Initially we tried antibiotic injections but after 2 days of that, I took her to a vet. They prescribed her antibiotics for her eyes. We then tried colloidal silver in the eye and flushing it with salt water. She got better but the eye never did. I’m pretty sure she can’t see out of it.

I’ve attached updated photos. Is there something I should be doing for it or to fix it? Is it a lost cause at this point? Does it even matter if she’s acting normal?

is it swollen?

I do think it looks a little swollen. It always sticks out but it looks more than usual

you could make a poultice out of lavender or chamomile and put it around the eye, that should help with swelling

I think she is blind out of that eye. I can tell because a sheet of grey indicates blindness. Sorry about that, glad she is healthy and better though

That’s ok!!! I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything “wrong” that needed to be addressed We call her Willa (one-eyed)
