Wet and Dry Fowl Pox - Graphic Pictures of Pus and Scabs

[smt1]

See this happened in 3 days time ... I can't even find her eyes. I was keeping dry the scabs on eyes to pick off but that didn't work , now I'm coating them with terrecymin ointment apologize in advance if I got that name wrong. I'm feeding her with dropper water honey vitamins and a antibiotic to prevent secondary infections. But I don't know if this is enough . The breeder I bought her from said she was vaccinated for small pox . I've had her for 3 weeks she's about 5 months. I purchased the vaccine do I vaccinate all healthy birds? I have her inside with me. Only 2 other pullets had 1 scab each and one fell off already the other one looks to soon. This is the only one like this .. Thank God

I took my girl to the vet cause at the time i didnt know what was wrong and he picked at it like you do with a spot but they next day it was back on her eye, but your poor girl has it bad. I hope she gets better and doesnt loose her vision

I haven't been able to find a vet that sees chickens ... But good news last night she started eating and drinking by herself ( instead of with dropper) I have to hold up to her beak of course

I didn't get to weigh her yet but I'm pulling out my sons preemie scale so I can keep track of her weight. I've been down with pneumonia so it's hard to handle both, no excuses...I'm just saying lol

@goldenfeathers i really wish I could do something about the swellen . The lesions seem worse .. Although I don't know if it's because they are moist now . Should I give her baby asprin? I'm using that she's eating as good sign but scared in making her suffer.

Her right eye looks like it might be infected, You should get the scab off and check.
