Hi BYC,
Please help me with my sweetest little chicken. Fluffy, my gentle white easter egger arrived this morning with an eye infection
. In the front corner of her eye are white foamy bubbles and on the bottom lid is a swollen bump, like a stye or something. Her little cheek puff is gummed up from discharge from the eye. Any idea what this is? What should I do? She seems healthy otherwise and the other eye is fine. You can see this all in the pic.
Recently my flock had some lesions on their feet that the vet said were likely due to fowl pox they had gotten last year, kind of how people get shingles later on from chicken pox. Could this be related to that fowl pox virus too? Or is it something more terrible???
I'm so nervous about my chicken!
Thanks for any help or advice...my last vet visit for the foot lesions cost $150 including Clavamox pills earlier this month, but I'm willing to go back if this is very serious and she won't be able to fight it off.
