Hello! When I got home (about an hour ago) I noticed one of my Plymouth R
ock girls seemed to have something stuck in her eye.
So far I've tried gently tugging on the object to get it out-- no good. I think I'd have to pull much harder and I'm worried I don't have enough info yet to do that confidently. I've also VERY gently massaged the area just behind where the object seems to be stuck, in an attempt to coax/push it out. No good either.
Important notes: her third eyelid is still working perfectly fine, there's no blood, and she's acting very normal. Only seemed to be in a little pain when I tugged on the object. No swelling so far.
My theory is that she got some little stick/pine needle/whatever lodged in there when she was dirt bathing earlier today. I really have no clue though.
My plan going forward is to use a q-tip to dab water on the object to soften it.
I am going to try and include some photos, but this is my first thread so fingers crossed that I do it right. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!! x
