One of my turkeys has a foggy and swollen eye! He can't really see out of it, but it doesn't really look damaged. He is breathing fine and the other eye is okay too. He doesn't seem sick at all, besides of course, the eye. Here is a photo:

Should I be worried about this? It was cold the past couple of days, but no snow (I live in Florida). I am worried because I have another male that went completely blind in both eyes due to a chicken attack. The one with the swollen eye is in a cage by himself, but he has contact with chickens that walk around outside of his cage. He might of just poked it, but I just need to be sure that he is okay.

It may just be minor irritation or a minor eye infection (pink eye). Either one will respond to daily flushing with saline and an antibacterial ointment twice a day. Terramycin, at most feed stores, is best, but expensive.
Okay, I will do that. Thank you!
