sudden cloudiness

[newwithchicks]

I have a 8 month old rooster that suddenly has a white cloudiness over both of his eyes. Went out this morning and he was fine and went to go collect eyes this evening and he was sitting in the shed under the heat lamp. He just sits and doesn't seem to want to move other than to get closer to the heat. I don't know what I need to do with him. Any help would be appreciated.

It could possibly be ocular marek's disease. Google it and read up on it. If he has been scratching his eyes, it would be due to eyeworm. That's how birds go blind, from the scratching. You'll be able to see eyeworm in the eyes. Treatment is mixing equal parts of water and valbazen, then flush the eyes. Then dose your rooster 1/2 valbazen orally undiluted, repeat dosing again 10 days later.

That sounds awful! I hope he has a good and quick recovery!

Thank you very much for your help. I will keep you updated on his recovery!

Cloudiness in the eyes could be aspergillosis.
