Neosporin (or any generic triple antibiotic ointment) WITHOUT pain relief ingredients seems to be okay for treating eye infections. The label says not to use it on people's eyes, but my mom used it a lot on us kids while we were growing up after a doctor told her to. I know Neosporin is safe for treating chicken wounds, and I'm guessing it would be safe for their eye infections, too??? I don't know about other people eye antibiotics--Some people medicines are safe to use on chickens & some are not.
Thanks I'll try that, and frankly don't know why I didn't think of it. I've had my equine vet recommended it for a pony I took in with a horrible wound to her eye. It was very hard to get it in her eye, contrary to what I thought. Betsy's smaller so I can pin her down much easier.
I hope it works! Keep us posted on how she's doing
