My hen, a Buff Orpington named Meatloaf, died a while ago (not because of the blindness) and I only have one bad picture of her. Unfortunately, it’s not on her blind side, so I cant study her eye, but here she is:Ok thanks she may still have a little sight in that eye she keeps it closed most of the time but I will try to get i pic thanks for responding!
What was your routine & what did you do exactly to heal? How long did it take? Did you just use saline solution & the terramycin ointment and that's it? Currently dealing with this!!
So we were on vacation and when we got back she was not herself at all finally I found her eye I was flushing it with saline solution and put the terramycin on once but it wasn’t really helping in fact it seemed to hurt her more I was thought I was going to lose her all she would do was sit there puffed up in the corner I was so upset but finally she started to get better and she’s back to her loud bossy self I hope your hen makes it lilys case was a mystery!
So you don't think I should apply terramycin or should I? And how often were you flushing it & how long did it take before her eye healed? Thanks
Maybe two weeks maybe more I tried to flush it twice a day I only got the terramycin on ondd CD e because their eyes are water proof it took like thirty minutes!! I would still flush it and put the medicine on and see if it helps….
Yes, you should try to use the saline to flush and clean the eye, and use Terramycin or plain Neosporin twice a day in the eye. That is pretty standard treatment for a sticky or gunky eye. You can get used to doing it by yourself, but at first it helps to have someone hold them.
@Eggcessive helped me a lot I would totally listen to her!
