Help chickens eye problem

[chicken keeper 123]

Hi so about four days ago I was holding a chicken and accidentally rubbed my check on his eye and I felt a decent amount of liquid from his eye on my check. After that he had been keeping that eye shut for most of the day and then yesterday for a whole day kept it open. then today he had it mostly shut and opened it for a few seconds at a time. It ain’t puffed and he has a little bit of liquid on his eye lid is there anything I can do? I’ve been giving him eye drops to take out any foreign objects but should I give him another type of eye drop?

After a flush with a generic lens solution I like to use this on my critters.

What kind of eye drops are you using?

 

[theoldchick]

I've never had a problem with it.

 

[theoldchick]

Yes, it is.

I don’t know about chickens eyes. Our human eyes tend to heal very quickly. I wouldn’t give any strong medicines. A calming tonic could do good if she has her eye open too long. For now it sounds as she is healing already. I would wait and see.

If you don’t know what this Terramycin does with chickens its not a good idea to use that imo.
@Eggcessive @R2elk @chickendocters?

It seems to be a normal medicin for chickens with eye problems.

Is their any bubbling in the corner of his eyes? Or swelling?

Can you post some photos of the eye?
What eye drops have you been using?

I agree with @theoldchick I would flush the eye really well with saline, then apply an eye ointment like Terramycin 2-3 times a day.
