Swollen eye, no smell, matted beard

[mgharris30]

Two days ago, Ms Maybel didn’t greet me by flying onto my lap. Instead, I found her huddled under a chair in the run. (She had already laid that day— she’s less than a year old)
I picked her up and noticed her eye was matted shut. Her mouth is open more than normal and I thought I saw blood near her beak (I posted all of this on Facebook). There may have been mucus on her beak as well.
I brought her inside, warm and dark, vitamins in her water. She didn’t eat or drink.
Day 2 I changed to corid in the water. After work, I put a warm compress on her eye, the some eye gel. Eye opened and she can see, but it’s still puffy. I managed to get her to eat some watermelon.
Today, we treated eye again with gel, because it was closing up. She drank a LOT but it mostly dribbled down her chin.
There is no smell. I think maybe she got in a fight. Of course, google just gives me coryza, but they always list smell as a symptom.
Anyway, I’m looking for advice. What else can I do for her?

What does the inside of her beak look like?

Sorry, not a lot of us on this site use FB...

She may have gotten into a scuffle and got pecked in the eye. General care is to flush the eye with saline, then apply an eye ointment like Terramycin in the eye 2-3 times a day.

Corid is a Coccidiostat used to treat Coccidiosis. Do you suspect she has Coccidosis? If not, then I wouldn't continue with using it. It won't hurt her, but it has no antibiotic properties if that's your thoughts.

Drinking a lot of water, I would make sure her crop is emptying overnight.

Her crop is emptying. She’s not eating unless I “make her”. I dip her mouth in yogurt or watermelon.
I noticed her nose running yesterday. Should I give a shot.

Any lesions inside the beak?
What kind of shot?

I would work on the eye, encourage her to eat/drink. Look her over for injury and lice/mites.
If she's been in a fight, she may have had her eye injured. Her beak could be sore.
Clean her nostrils with a wetted qtip, see if it continues.

I do not see any lesions. I will take pictures when I get back home.
The shot I have is Tylan 200.
She doesn't have mites or lice. I did give her a bath yesterday so I could look her over and take care of the matting on her beard.

I would try to determine if she has gotten pecked in the eye causing her eyelid swelling, messy eye crust, and nasal drainage. Or if it is the start of a respiratory disease, such as MG. Treat as Wyorp Rock recommended. Since you have Tylan 200, have you seen respiratory infection before in another? Is there any sneezing or congestion? Shots are not necessary and can sometimes cause muscle damage in the breast muscle. If you use it, give it orally, and dosage is 0.01ml per pound given 3 times daily for 3-5 days. You would need a 1 ml syringe to get an accurate dosage. Most pharmacies will give you a 1 ml syringe for babies medicines if you ask. MG can be brought in by a new flock member or wild birds, and can be passed in hatching eggs.

We have treated sick birds in the past without success. It has been a while. There doesn't seem to be congestion, just clear fluid from her nose. I just noticed that yesterday.
No sneezing.
I don't see injury to the eye, just swelling. She will open it when I put the eye gel on it, but it closes back up overnight.
She doesn't act like a chicken. When out of the dog crate, she will fly to the highest place she can see, but she doesn't explore new places/things with her beak or feet. She doesn't scratch around.
I'm going to try her in our half bath tomrrow during the day. I just need to clean off all the countertops. It's possible she needs more room. She does perk up when we get her out.

She looks like an easter egger. Maybe she is being bullied by the others, and trying to roost away from the others.

Perked up today! Ate some scratch with dried worms and part of a bantam scrambled egg.
Here are pics of her mouth. There definitely looks like mucus at the back of her throat. No lesions I can see.
If you need more views let me know.

I would use the Tylan 200 for 5 days. Let us know how she gets along.
