Swollen eye on 3.5 yr old hen

[vrollo81]

I have posted about this before but can’t figure out how to embed the post link bottom line is she’s getting worse and I don’t know what to do.

HELP!! 3 1/2 yr old But Orpington hen with a swollen eye. It started six days ago when I brought her in to give her something Nutra-Drench cause she was sleeping outside during the day and was a lot slower than normal. That started 8 days ago. She wouldn’t open her eye after I gave the liquid to her. I figured I scratched her eye on accident when opening her beak. Well… six days later and it’s super swollen. I’ve done warm compresses, saline rinses, used some erythromycin gel and it all seems to be making it worse. No sign of mites, lice, no injury to or around the eye. She’s still sleeping outside during the day and really slow. She is eating and drinking some but not as much as I’d like. Her poop looks normal.

Her outer eye looks red, so I am wondering if she has been pecked? There may be pus in the eye from either an eye infection or sinus infection. I would give her an antibiotic, such as Tylosin in the water, in case of a respiratory sinus disease such as MG. Here is where to get that shipped within a week:

I would work on getting any pus out of the eye, and make sure there is no foreign body such as a foxtail or seed in the third eyelid. Here is a graphic video:
