Nasty eye infection (pics)

[casportpony]

I'm going to be honest: I didn't call any vets today. She's not a $25 hen, so I either need to treat with what I have or something that's super cheap/OTC. I flushed with saline before and after. Should I start the oral tylan and hope for the best? Just dab it with the trip-antibacterial ointment I have?

Hey, it's okay. No harm in try oral Tylan and ointment.. BTW, excellent job!

Make sure the trip ointment does not have pain reliever in it for use in the eye.

Soot after 48 hours. I think I'll return her to the flock tomorrow. I'll trim those gunky feathers.

Well other than the removal, I didn't really do much... I try to intervene as little as possible.

She looks amazing!

Thanks! She's very happy, too.
