Runny eye on 2mth old silkie, NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kysilkies]

We have no clue what causes it or what to do about it, all help will be welcome...Thank you in advance!...

We just got her yesterday and we think she's beautiful!

Give her Polyvisol Enfamil (no iron) three drops in beak once a day for two weeks. (vit A def goes hand in hand with this symptom along with an eventual respiratory disorder > wait on any medicine until you are sure it is necessary)
Flush with sterile saline and apply an opthamolic gel to the eye afterwards daily.
A move to a new environment is very stressful and birds will often present with symptoms like this while they are adjusting... if you can also get a good general supplement like AviaCharge 2000 (available online from McMurry or Strombergs) this will also help get her own immune system back on track .

Thank you!...We're being very cautious not to stress them by barely handling them until they adjust, then let the spoiling commence!

[kysilkies]

We feel the same!!!!!!...Here are the snowflakes that came with her!

Thank you, I'm off to get it now!...

We've really been super duper careful about not stressing her anymore...She does what she wants and is starting to take to us...

She does have one funny quark, she honks!..LOL When I play my guitar she makes a sound that can only be described as a short honk, it's so cute...

Thanx again for the aide, Marty will appreciate it!

I just got back and couldn't find any Polyvisol Enfamil, they had every other type but not that...I went to rite aid and food store...

 

[kysilkies]

I can't find Polyvisol without Iron anywhere, anything else we can use?!??!...It's not running like it was, but it's not perfect yet...
