Watery bubbly eyes and sneezing help!

[ChickNanny13]

ALWAYS QUARATINE new bird for at least a month (better overkill than sorry) before adding to your flock

When I've had bubbly eyes it's been a respiratory infection. I've given VetRX orally and Terramycin in the eye. If your bubbly eye is what my chickens had, DO NOT let it get worse. The eye gets swollen shut and has pus in it. It's not easy to take care of. You can also add VetRX to the water.

How does their poop look?

Tagging @casportpony also.

Their poop is normal looking.

Watery, bubbly eyes sounds like Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG.) It will spread to your other birds. Tylan 50 will treat it, but not cure it. You'll have to maintain a closed flock. No birds out, no new birds in, no selling or giving away eggs to be hatched.

As long at it makes her better, that's all that matters. they are just for our family to enjoy them and their eggs. thank you!

Thank you! I'm waiting for the VetRx to be shipped to me as well as the Tylan 50. Hopefully she'll be ok for another day or so!

Can you actually obtain the Tylan 200? I have read it's formulated far more suitably for chickens than the 50. Tylan is what you want to treat your chickens with.

It's best to separate the sick ones and treat them with the Tylan, but understand the others have been exposed and could come down sick, too. Then you would treat those with symptoms.

You can get the Tylan 200 on Amazon. I couldn't find the 50 on their site.

Tylan 50 is so common for use in pigs and cattle, almost all feed stores carry it.

Tylan 200 is better for larger animals or turkeys. Since the dosage of Tylan 50 is 0.25 ml per pound, given 3 times a day, it is easily enough to figure dosage. Tylan 200 is 4 times the strength—200 mg per ml versus 50 mg per ml. Dosage is 0.061 ml per pound. That is the only difference. You can use either one if you can figure out the dosage, but Tylan 200 also costs much more, online 2 to 3 times as much.
