Turkeys bad eye

[ChickenMamaMeg666]

So what once was believed to be a completely blind turkey has now been discovered to have one good eye and one bad I’m not sure what the initial issue was but do you guys think terramycin would do anything for otis?

Hi, do you have photos of Otis's Right eye?



The left eye in the photo looks like he may be blind or at least vision is limited. To me, I don't think Terramycin eye ointment would be of benefit to the Left eye, but will tag in others to see if they have any other suggestions.

Is his Right eye intact and healthy looking or irritated?

Yikes, that eye looks like it is bulging slightly. I don't think eye ointment will help as it is too late. When the eye is cloudy then there is generally not much you can do. I would imagine that there is still some light perception but no clear vision.

How does the other eye look like? Could you attach a picture? You could potentially use the ointment in the other eye if it is healthy as precaution if you want. I personally wouldn't unless it shows signs of it starting to not look healthy.

@Wyorp Rock When I got him both eyes seemed damaged, the left eye does bulge Ik it’s too late to save the eye I’m trying to make it more comfortable if possible

These are the most recent pictures the eye changes how much it bulges in not sure he can’t see out of it he might be able to see shapes the last two pictures are the good eye

Oh, I see.

Yes, if you think the eye gets irritated, you can use Terramycin in the eye. Use saline to rinse the eye out and help remove any debris, etc., then use the ointment.

He looks like a character!
