Pekin Sick Again

[Amiga]

Ditto Miss Lydia's advice. If the feathers are coming out, take a close look for mites. She may just be molting, though.

Miss Lydia:

Thanks for the quick response! Right after I posted, I went out with a warm wash cloth and wiped the area around her eyes. There were a lot of tiny feathers that came loose. I am worried about scratching her eye when I do it since she isn't closing her lid while I do it - she is a little freaked out and probably afraid I'm going to stick that tube down her throat again haha!

I don't have the ointment and it doesn't look like my TSC carries it. I can order online or do you think I should just get the Veterycin since they have it at my Petco? Is it safe to use on/around the eye? I read about it and it seems like it works for all kinds of stuff so will probably get a bottle to have on hand for the ducks/cat/dog.

How much ACV should I put in the water? I will do the saline wash tomorrow as I put her to bed after I wiped her eyes.

Thank you as always......you are truly WONDERFUL!!

Sorry I am just now getting back to you, yes I'd go for the Veterycin very safe to use around and in the eyes and a good one to have on hand also. Heck I've even used it on myself. One nice thing about it is you can spray and they don't get as upset because there's less handling. especially since she has just been through so much, just pick her up spray and put her down, I'd do it at least 2x a day to start . and ACV is 1 Tab to 1 gallon of water. keep us updated. Here is some info on Veterycin I found http://vetericyn.com/technology/
