@ChuSayBok , what drugs have you tried?
A few months ago my flock went through fowl pox. Only one bird had wet pox, and the EEs/orp mixes hardly developed spots on their combs at all. Soot the EE got bubbles in her eye and nasal discharge. By the time I decided to treat it, she'd be better. Then a few days later sick again.
My chicken sitters gave her a round of tylan 50 over thanksgiving. I gave her another round a few weeks later. We've been gone for two weeks and got back last night. And now her eye looks like this:
What's the best way to proceed with this? I was thinking to wash with saline, squeeze that gunk out, flush again, and treat with opthamalic ointment. I'd have to pick some up. I have the saline, tylan 50, and plain triple antibiotic on hand.
I do have a vet nearby who claims to see chickens, but they've lied to me before so I don't consider that an option.
Did you use any anesthetic? What tools did you use to get the puss out? I picked up a pullet who has had a swollen eye for about 4 months and the local vet tried some eye drops(didn’t do anything) then recommended surgery to remove the eye. I’m hoping he might have missed something like this. I’ll have to look at her better tomorrow to see if it could be this type of thing.
Soot after 48 hours. I think I'll return her to the flock tomorrow. I'll trim those gunky feathers.
What did you do once you got the pus out? Did you put her on an antibiotic?Here is Soot a week after treatment!
Before and after:

Okay thank you. I seem to be feeling with a similar case as you once had.I don’t believe that I did because she was doing so well. I can’t actually remember, but if I had done anything it would’ve been the oral dose of Tylan 50 and triple antibiotic ointment dabbed in her eye.

Thank youI added a line about treating with triple antibiotic ointment right after the procedure. Best of luck to you!
Do you have a good post about how to remove pus from the sinus?No point in using antibiotics until you get all of the pus out, and getting all of it out without surgery might be difficult.
