VERY URGENT

[animalloverabh]

Just woke up to find my peachick with his eyes almost sealed togerther after a cat attack a few wwewks ago

 

[critters]

ooh...poor baby..I can't help but feel for your baby...
haven't been lucky enough yet to have any peachicks

did have a rooster with a swollen eye, closed shut
after a run in with another bully rooster trying to
change the pecking order I think...
I took a warm wet rag and held it to his eye then
gently wiped it trying to get rid of any dirt that was
there...then put some neosporin on and did this
several times a day...after a few days the swelling
went down and all seemed to be normal

hope someone else can tell what to do for your
peachick since they may know something better
for them

good luck!

Yeah, warm wet washcloth or soft paper towel. I hold it against the eye for a bit to wet and soften the lids and anything else there and then slowly wipe it off. I put terramycin in the eyes then for about 3 days. I am treating a chicken now that was attacked by other chickens. I am also using neosporin without the pain relief on her wounds.

Yeah I have been putting saline solution on them but I went to look for teramycin today and it's not stocked in england, so I looked online but it takes two weeks to ship

The saline solution is just for washing any foreign material out. If you cannot find the teramycin you can you use neosporin or it's generic, triple antibiotic. Just make sure they don't have any extras like pain relief additives. You will have to apply frequently. It will try and wipe it off on its back.

I've actually used it in my eyes.

Had no idea you could put neosporin in your eye. Will definitely have to remember this.
