My 3 month (Or 2 in half) chick has a watery bubbley eye.I'm concerned because I fear its either a resporitory infection,or there is some more picking going on in flock.(It looks goopy:(.)

Right now she is in my rabbits old cage.I gave her a drop of silver.Right now she is the cage with fresh water,that has probiotics in it.

Any other suggestions or what may have cause this?
 
Case worse.She isn't drinking,or eating,and it is even crusty now.And way more goopier,and watery.I have cleaned her eye up,but the right eye is just too bad. Please anybody?
 
Sometimes my birds get something in their eye or get pecked in the eye from other birds. I rinse their eye with a saline solution and make sure I get it into the affected area. I put neosporin on it too. I do this 2 times a day until healed which doesn't take long.
Is she suffering any other symptoms besides foamy/goopy eye? Any sneezing or nasal discharge or coughing/wheezing?
 
MG, a respiratory disease, can have symptoms of a bubbly eye, nasal drainage, eye drainage, or swelling of the eye or face. Have you added any new birds recently? Tylan 50 injectable, oxytetracycline, and Gallimycin are commonly used to treat it. A peck wound can also cause bubbling and drainage. Is there any bad odor from her face?

Not that I have heard or saw.

No bad odor.She actually is the new girl in town,but with a few friends with her.I have noticed she was more chased away or even beaten,but the fights looked ruthless,but I knew it was best for the pecking order.Would washing the eye in warm water help?
 
She should have been quarantined for a month or more before bringing her into your flock. She may have brought a respiratory disease into the flock. You can clean the eye with normal saline, and apply an antibiotic ointment such as plain Neosporin, or a product such as Vetericyn eye gel.
 
My chicken had sneezing and a bubbly eye, it was an upper respiratory illness. We got medicine to put in the water to treat all of them as well. I'll try to find the packet and give the name, but yes it sounds to me like a respiratory illness.
