Just went to check on him and noticed there is some decrease in the swelling.

I then was told I could give him the Tylan orally 3 times a day to the rate of .1 ml.His main drinking water has the Tylosin in it but I am no longer giving him the separate amount by syringe.
I am not seeing any puss today in the eye and when I press on the area around the eye I see none. The one area is hard though and he isn’t happy when I try to press on it
Right - Tylan (injectable 200) can be given orally 3 times a day. Tylosin Powder he would need to be drinking that as the only source of drinking water. While both are the "same product" the delivery is different.Am I over medicating him? How safe is it to give him the Tylan orally? Do I also keep the powder Tylosin in the water ?Shouldnt the Tylan bring the swelling down if there is infection ?
Eggsessive posted a video of puss removal in a chickens eye.When I press in that area there is no puss. The swollen area I am assuming must contain some . That area is very hard and pressing there gets no pus that I would wipe from his eye as I am assuming this is where it would go?Should I just daily work on that area to draw pus out?I am afraid that I am going to do damage if I press to hard. I have cleaned puss from his eye that had worked out on its own this week. I am going to also call the vet and see if he has any experience with pus removal . I don’t hold out too much hope as vets in this area know little about birds.Right - Tylan (injectable 200) can be given orally 3 times a day.

I don't think you are over-medicating if you are providing him with Tylosin (powder) solution to drink, then that should be the only thing in his drinking water.
Pus has to be physically removed, antibiotics will not "dry up" the pus.
When I was asked to take Buddy he had been nursed back to health after suffering from Wry neck. He had a case of scaly leg that I had to deal with and treat . He is the sweetest rooster and never makes a sound. I had a rooster that lived for 9 years and he too had MG. I got him through his bouts with it and watched him pass from old age. These Silkies are my pets and I will do everything I can to take care of them. I am just afraid I may not get Buddy through this and it’s breaking my heart.Right - Tylan (injectable 200) can be given orally 3 times a day.

I am with you . That is not something I can bring myself to do.There are some gruesome videos online of removing pus from the sinus cavity by making a incision, on peafowl. I personally would not go that far dealing with a chicken though, but it is a way to get the pus out.
