One of my chicks has some goo in the edge of their eye, could I use a cotton swab to gently remove it?

I'm starting a second thread about these chicks illness, but I'll still update this thread. I just think more people will respond to a new thread

Some respiratory diseases don't ever go away.

Yeah, I just want more opinions on what I could do to lessen their symptoms. Instead of stressing them out by cleaning out their eyes/nostrils if there would be an easier way. I heard a humidifier may work. My gfs mom also recommended Baytril, but it makes eggs toxic so I'm hesitant about that

Is this the eye ointment you recommended I get? The chick keeps her eye closed for the most part. No crust, it may be swollen. If that's not it, can you link the correct kind?

 

[Kiki]

Yes, that is a good eye ointment.

Is there anything I can do to stop her from scratching her eye?

Can you post some updated photos?

What have you been doing for the eye - do you have any ointment you can put in it? Terramycin or Vetericyn eye gel?
