IF it is MG or something similar:

Are you familiar with how chicken diseases "work"?

The chicken becomes a carrier for life. I guess I was unclear in my question. Should I apply anything to the eye after I remove the pus? Should I give the pullet antibiotics?

What should I do post pus removal for the pullet?

Start her on antibiotics.

 

[Brahma Chicken5000]

Start her on antibiotics.

Is Tylan 50 given orally okay?

That might work, but you would have to give it no less than twice a day.

What should I do if she doesn’t want it tested?
Maybe I should buy the pullet and bring it to the University by my town and see if they can help

Symptoms most likely can be helped.
BUT

Would you want her to continue to shed the disease and continue to have birds come down with these same symptoms?

"Carriers for life" means it doesn't go away.

Do you have any other antibiotics on hand?

Okay I think I could do that.

So she should be culled is what you are saying.

Only Tylan 50. I can ask my boss if she has any antibiotics for chickens.

No, I'm just trying to make you think.
