Injury help!

See if that pic is better. I had a heck of a time getting a pic because she wants to turn and look with her good eye lol. The rest of my flock has fowl pox. Her eye started getting clear bubbles then swoll shut. No respiratory problems so far.
She is on Tylan by mouth and has started eating better since she lost her cape. I feel like her eye needs to be cleaned out, but I can barely clean it and put antibiotic ointment on it. She wipes the ointment off onto her back as soon as I put it on her eye.

So, this is not related to the injury from your first posting correct?
You're given Tylan50? What dosage and how many times a day?

If you have a helper for cleaning out the eye, that would be good. You mention bubbles? Is there pus in the eye too?
Flush with saline, then see if you can remove any pus/discharge that you can. Use an eye ointment like Terramycin, put a small amount directly in the eye.
Bubbles can be an indication of respiratory illness like Mycoplasma so that's something to keep in mind.

I thought maybe it was in relation to the fowl pox and not the original injury. I definitely need a helper after watching that video. Ill do that in the morning. I can’t thank you enough!

Let us know how it goes.

It's possible it could be from Fowl Pox, but you mentioned she has no other symptoms besides the eye correct? Any plaques/lesions inside the beak, mucous from the nostrils, etc.? Any scabs on the the beak, face, comb or wattles?

I see the puss ball in her eye socket. It’s too big to push out of the eye hole. Last night I was able to wrap her in a towel and hold onto her mohawk while I picked at the mass with needle nose plyers. Tonight she’s not having it. Is there a sedative or something to calm her? Baby benadryl?

Oh Dear!
I know of no sedatives for chickens.
Can you post some clear recent photos? Sometimes there is a lot of pus and it needs to be lanced, but I recommend you consult a vet.
