I would re post this with a more specific title so someone may look who knows how to help. Try: my turkey has a swollen purple leaky eye. it should all fit.
Good luck with it!

Also, WELCOME to BYC.
Be sure to introduce yourself when you get your turkey eye issues worked out.

You may also want to put it under 'emergencies, diseases, illnesses, and cures.'
It was difficult figuring this place out when I was new, but you will catch on quickly.
If I were able, I'd just move it for you.
sorry that you are waiting, mean while, go over to the index, go down to 'emergencies,diseases, illnesses and cures,' click on it and then go up to the upper right and in the search box type in 'swollen leaky eye', see what comes ups. I hope this is helpful.

This time of year sinus and respiritory problems are fairly common in poultry, the damp cold of the fall etc.

There is a picture in the link, is that what yours looks like?

If so Tylan powder is the best to knock it out quickly.

Some feed stores will carry it and Tractor Supply should.
