Help! my pullets eye is swollen shut

My pullets eye is swollen shut and she doesn't move or anything I have to feed her and give her water by a dropper

I am no doctor by any means but have had a similar experience with one of my ducks. Try a warm compress to help get crustiness off and Vetericyn gel. You can usually get that at Tractor Supply Co. or anything feed/supply store. If its a respiratory issue, Vetericyn may not help. I'd also look into getting Tylan, its an antibiotic. There is an injectable and a soluble solution. I prefer the soluble, especially if you are treating by yourself and don't have a set of extra hands, give a 5 day course for that and it'll usually take care of things, at least in my experience.

Sounds more like a respiratory thing then since there is puss, I'd definitely get Tylan and start her on some antibiotics, eye wash and antibiotic ointment. I sure hope she gets better!

Thank you for your help do you think vetrx will help

You're welcome!

And I think so, I'd do that for a couple of days and if you don't see progress try something else. That and warm compresses should do some good
