My turkey’s eye is swollen!!

[Jacktoo]

Hi all!
I have notice one of my turkey’s eye is swollen and closed shut. When she tries to open her eye it look all white inside.. has anyone had this problem before, if so what did you do..

It might be MG, a respiratory disease or an infection from something getting in her eye/peck wound. Does she have any problems breathing, gasping, or acting very ill? The whie material is probably pus, and needs to be cleaned out. Flush the eye with saline afterward, and apply plain teiple antibiotic ointment twice a day after repeated cleaning. If she is having other symptoms, I would try to get an antibiotic, such as tylosin or oxytetracycline and treat her. Here are 2 articles to read about MG:

she has been eating, and doing everything like normal.. running outside with her Tom, but I notice her laying around a lot more. Is the antibiotic over the counter, or I would have to see a vet for this..

Thank you for all the information.
When I came home yesterday she was not moving that much, so I cleaned the coop out, and cleanse her eye out. I had to force her to drink water, but I had put electrolytes tablets in the water, because I Felt she her and she had a fever. I’m taking her to a farm vet today before it gets worst.
