Very nasty picture, not for the weak stomach. Bad infection in the eye

Could it be infectious coryza?

There is a youtube video on eyeworm removal I watched just yesterday. It isn't for the weak of stomach............but the worm was removed so I reccomend giving it a look see just for the information. Sorrry but I do not have the link.

When dealing with the eyeworms,you have to make sure to clean the eye out really good.You have to be sure to clear the eye of the worms.You can find more than 50 worms in a single eye.Most of the species are less than a 1/4 in.Basically the size of a nip of thread.The VetRx in the eye does work.

for the eye worm, do you directly apply vetrx into the eye or the nostril? i want to make sure.

I don't think the chicken pictured in post #1 had eye worms, I think it had some type of sinus infection.

I agree with Casportpony. Forget the eye worm. You need to be thinking CRD or Coryza.

I know this thread is old but has anyone ever thought of using a natural substance to treat their chickens and to. Ot poison them with toxic pharmaceuticals? I would have used SILVER on the chickens eye. Sovereign Silver can be purchased in a health food store. Put some in a spray pump bottle and spray. Nothing bad microbe can survive the silver and it usually downsize bother good microbes unless you have a lot of silver. Silver was the antibiotic of choice until the drug companies patented antibiotics, then it was thrown to the wayside because they couldn't make any money from it.

Always, always look for a natural solution first. Silver is awesome and is not toxic in the hydrosol form. Homemade silver on the other hand can be problematic.
