My leghorn recently lost both of her eyes to bullying (they were pecked out poor thing) and I’m crossing my fingers that she heals well.
I’m giving her doxycycline in her water as well as antibiotic eye drops (and for good measure oxine nebulizing treatment once or twice a day though she’s not showing any type of respiratory distress. I figure the oxine mist all over her face and eyes couldn’t hurt). I’ve been doing this for about 5 days so far.
Has anyone been through this before? How long might the healing process be? I’m curious what to expect but hopeful she’ll get better. She’s in a crate in my basement away from the others.
Honestly I’m not even sure what a wound like this is supposed to look like when healed.
