HELP! Extreme eye Infection? Chorzya? Cholera? Injury!

Date sort Score sort
I have a quick question, I am going through this with one of my hens right now. I think I got ALL of the yellow gunk out except one little bit that looks like a pea sized bit. It looks like it's behind her eye on the bottom part. I can't get it out. Any suggestions? I can't see her eye, I'm thinking that one bit isn't letting her eye go back to where it's supposed to. I cleaned her eye out with saline water and put some terramycin in there afterward.
 
Omg...this is exactly what my Roo had in his eye! Only, he has a marble-sized knot above his eye as well! I dug out the (yes, very stinky) yellow masses several times, with the last time I did it being more aggresive & got more out, so that he had a big hole under the marble shaped knot over his eye where I assume this hardened mess had pressed upward on him, but must've pushed inward as well cause I don't see his eyeball...it's like his inner eye is inside out with red swollen tissue...like what an eyelid looks like turned out...with no sign of his eye! I'm so afraid that I've waited too late and his eye is gone under there :'( ..when y'all mention the sulfa medicine, is Duramycin the same? You give it orally? I'd bought some type of sulfa before and mixed with Vaseline to make a paste for chicken pox scabs years ago, is that something I could use? Someone else mentioned using cayenne powder and making a paste to pack the injuries, to speed healing, but putting pepper in an eye??? Another suggestion was to use VetRX in the eye...And to take a cotton swab with some on it and runing it along that slit in throat, while holding chickens head upside down which will cause the sinus cavity to be coated with it, and will wash out thru the eye!! Now, I know that stuff has camphor and maybe menthol...would that not burn him...like I assume the cayenne would as well ??! Please HELP!

Ok folks. I have a young EE rooster that has substained a scratch across his eye sometime today or yesterday evening.
I've cleaned with water and q-tip and put him in a pin by himself. If it gets worse what can I put on it???
 
Hello I think I am having the same problem... was the big yellow puss in the front of her eye(not able to see it) and it just look swollen when it first started? There is yellow puss coming out of her eye and nose(just on one side) and her face on just that one side is super swollen... could it be what ur chicken had?

Lulu68 do you think our birds have the same thing? What do you do with the big "swelling" how do I get the yellow stuff out without getting the eye?? It's huge like a marble like you mentioned but I am scared to push the eye out if I try to get it out? Does anyone have advice what should I do?
