13 month old silkie hen - my baby Maui (she’s small in stature but not malnourished by any means) just noticed today her right eye looks slightly swollen compared to her left, no noticeable pus or drainage. Have 8 other silkies did not notice anything similar with the other. No other symptoms, when my husband brought her inside to inspect her further her beak was slightly open but she did not appear to be panting. Eating/drinking/acting like her normal sweet & sassy self.
First picture is swollen eye (right eye), second picture is her left eye for comparison, and third is her beak open. Trying to not go down a rabbit hole she’s our sweetest hen & last November had a significant pecking order-related head wound that she overcame amazingly does she need to go to the vet? Thoughts?
We do have leftover antibiotic ointment from her head wound last November but have not yet used anything on her eye.
