Do you think vetracin opthalmic would work on foul pox lesions?Dry fowl pox would affect the comb, wattles, face, and other parts of the body. I'm not sure that is what you are seeing, but they can appear very light, then tan, and darker brown as they scab. Mosquitoes transmit the pox virus, and unless there are complications such as wet pox in the throat, or eye infections, it usually goes away in 2-3 weeks. Iodine applied to scabs can help dry them up, but otherwise don't disturb the scabs (if it pox.) . Hopefully you can send a picture.
Thanks. I thought it would be safe in and around the eyes. Can you drop in on https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1024386/puffy-swollen-eye/10#post_15902918Vetericyn is very good to use for treatment. Fowl pox is viral, but the Vetericyn should help fight bacterial infection.
