Help with chicken eye issue

[chickinlittles]

It would be bood to see the right eyeball again in a clear picture. The neck movement does look like she is adjusting her crop, but sometimes neck movements can be neurological symptoms. Did you feel anything stuck in her crop when she was doung the neck movement? Does she have poultry granite grit available to eat when she needs it? I would stop the breens and anything other than moist or dry chicken feed, and perhaps a few scrambled egg bits. Feel her crop again first thing in the morning when it should be empty.

nothing stuck in crop that I could feel. Its very difficult to get a shot fothe eyeball righ now but I can try again. she hasnt done any more neck gyrations since and has eaten more so I think that was a case of trying to adjust. Greens were th eonly thing she woudl eat but now she is eating her food a little so Ill keep her on that. I put some grit in with her and she ate some a little of that too, Thanks for the advice. Im use to them getting thier grit in the dirt in thier yard and I also give oyster shell so I hadn't thought of bringing in grit.

Sunshine update. I feel this may help others that end up with an eye issue like this one I am dealing with. There doesn't seem to be much new info on this topic so here is where we are today.
This all started about March 5th. She seemed a little off but I hadn't noticed anything strange looking on her until the 7th when her rt eye was having an issue. See photos in first post.
I got some vetrycin eye wash and gel as well as terramycin opthalmic ointment and began to treat the eye twice a day. I went online and ordered some antibiotics too. It took sometime to get the meds and she wasn't getting better, the swelling continued and by about the 9th she could no longer open the eye at all. I couldn't see inside either. She was listless and would only eat greens and strawberries. She has been inside my studio since I discovered she was having a problem. She was sleeping most of the time. Her poop was green and pretty watery. On the 13th the antibiotics arrived and I began to give her Baytrill. One small drop is all I giver her, She is a small bird who weighs 2.5 lbs the dose for her size is very small. the dosage for this medication is 10 mg/kg of weight. This medication is not recommended and may be illegal for livestock. It is recommended that you never eat the eggs or meat of any bird given this medication due to antibiotic resistance issues in humans. Sunshine has never laid an egg so I am not concerned about that. A day later, Sunday, Sunshine seemed to feel better, she was up and around more, eating a little more and her poop started firming up. In the afternoon her eye began to open a little and I could tell she could see through it. Today, Monday the eye still only open a little but she is very active, eating well and her poop is solid and normal, the swelling is going down. She is no longer wanting to stay tucked into her comfy crate and is all over the studio. Her most favorite place to be in on my legs or lap taking a nap. I'm not getting much work done. LOL Im feeling much more relieved that she seems to be coming around. There was never any discharge from her eyes or her nostrils and her other eye was never affected. She never had wheezing or respiratory symptoms so I concluded that one of the other girls had indeed pecker her in the eye. All the rest of the flock has no symptoms of any kind. Not sure how I will feel about putting her back in with the other girls, but she can't stay in my studio forever, I have to get my work done!

Sunshine update. She’s back out in the coop and yard. Her eye has a bit of swelling still and some pretty deep scarring but she seems fine and is doing well. I am keeping her separate at night so as not to have her too close to the others on the roosting bars. In the yard she has plenty of room to get away from aggressive pecking. I watched them most of the afternoon together and things seem to be safe for her. Fingers crossed.
