Hello all! Firstly, I am trying to get pictures of my babies, but I am currently having issues with my phone. I will do my best to explain what I am seeing! So, around a week ago I noticed that my 6-week-old Blue Plymouth Rock had irritated-looking eyes. I immediately removed her from the rest of her flock mates and started treatment. Then later on that evening, after checking her flock mates, I noticed that there were 3 more with similar-looking eyes and nasal discharge (Blue doesn't have nasal discharge) and brought them inside as well. Treatment consisted of electrolytes, micronyrcinCH, VetRX, and something off Amazon called Curicyn (conjunctivitis). I started the Curicyn on Monday and stopped using the CH stuff. Then around 2 days after the initial illness was noticed, another flock member displayed symptoms and was brought inside. I started Nutridrench on Monday as well in their drinking water. I am unsure how much to distribute directly due to their smaller sizes. Every bird eats and drinks perfectly fine. The other four are ALL silkies. I am super concerned with my Blue Plymouth Rock. She doesn't open her eyes anymore and today, I have seen her struggling to find food and water, so I helped her. I feel she's lost her sight or can't open her eyes anymore. I clean their beaks and keep their nasal passages clear, and I also clean their eyes. I currently am seeing ZERO improvements. Is there anything else that I can do to save these babies? I'd also like to add that I have researched a few different causes, and I don't think it is Coryza(spelling) because there isn't a foul smell, and they don't exhibit anything past nasal discharge and irritated eyes! If I manage to get pictures, I will upload them!
