Swollen eye

[Eggsandbeyond]

My flock is mareks positive. Usually leg paralysis. Is this a new symptom or something unrelated? What do I do? If feels almost like it's fluid filled.

Only 1 eye the other is normal it happened within 2 days.

Can you see any bubbles or foam in the eye, or crusty drainage around the eye? It might be a symptom of MG (mycoplasma,) a common respiratory disease. He also may have been pecked or gotten something in the eye. I would apply some plain Triple Antibiotic Ointment to the eye 2-3 times a day. Let us know if other symptoms occur.

No I don't see any bubbles or crusty discharge. It looks clean, just like either fluid build up or a mass right under the eye itself.

I would treat the eye with the ointment for a week and let us know if it clears up. Besides the Triple Antibiotic, you could also use Terramycin ointment from the feed store if you ask a clerk for it.

Trying spraying colloidal silver in its eye twice a day. For the next 2-3 days. With in a week the problem will be gone.
