Rooster with swollen tissue inside eye

[chicken3fly]

Presenting in only one eye? Idk! I will give him benadryl, then go with baytril afterwards

at this point I'm clueless

welcome to my world lol
I've gone over everything he could possibly have. So, if the benadryl doesn't help, then I'll try baytril. If that doesn't work, it may be a tumor, I don't know.

How did this eye problem turn out? Did you ever get a diagnosis, or did the rooster get better?

It went down all the way. But it came back with a vengeance. It was a tumor in the third eye lid tissue. I opted out of surgery. He was put down and received the best Viking send off. He looked good internally. All organs healthy looking. He was a fighter and was good to the last breath. I just couldn't see him suffer.

Sorry that you lost him, and that it was a tumor.

Thank you, he was great in every way. I have his sons to remember him by. It was just so weird that a tumor would behave the way it did. After the course of antibiotics and ophthalmic ointments, it was fine. Then it came right back and worse than before. At least he's not suffering anymore, that makes it somewhat ok
