Hi. I am a new member but have followed many of you for a while. I need help please and I thought thus was the place to go...
My silkie has had a serious eye infection for a few weeks. The right eye so far is the only one infected to date. The right eye has a huge pus ball under the lid and it is very firm - like a hard piece of cottage cheese. I wipe her eye every time I see her but it won't budge. Her nose is a little runny so Ii wipe that and there is just a little pus in her mouth. I read on another thread to use Tylan. I am going to start soaking her eye to see if I can soften it. It is so large her lid looks like it is going to pop. Every time I wipe her eye I am afraid I am going to do more damage. Her appetite is good.
Please help... I love the little girl... I have had over 100 chickens but at this point I only have about 50 - and each one is special but this little one needs attention asap.
Thanks for your help.
