Worm in chickens eye?

[dawg53]

Piperazine aka Wazine is no longer available in the United States. Piperazine treats Large Roundworms ONLY. It does NOT treat other types of poultry roundworms; that includes eyeworms, cecal worms, capillary worms, gizzard worms and gapeworms.
I know this because I've used Piperazine many times and anything else is misinformation about it treating other types of poultry worms.

Flukes can be treated with Valbazen or Praziquantel. They do not infect the eyes in poultry.

Eyeworms can be treated with Valbazen as mentioned by @Eggcessive by mixing equal parts of water and Valbazen and flushed in the eyes to kill eyeworms, then given orally to kill eyeworm larva.

The object in the chickens eye in the photo is not any type of worm nor fluke.
It needs to pulled out with tweezers then put Neosporin in the eye until healed.

Hey dawg53! Hope you're well! I'm trying to learn about this chicken's plight to apply it to my arsenal of chicken health weapons. What makes you certain this is an object and not worms? Thank you!

Hey, I just want to thank everyone who helped me, I got it out of her eye! She was quite agitated afterward, so I'm going to wait just a little bit before I try to clean the eye, as it would have been very hard with her trying to move all around. But I will clean it, don't worry. It was just something from a plant, and I felt terrible for her when I saw just how big it actually was! And the sweet girl was absolutely amazing when I was taking it out, hardly moved at all. Which was extremely good since I did not want to poke her eye with the tweezers. It's like she knew I was trying to help her. Thank you everyone!

Here is a picture of what it was if any of you are interested to see how big it was.

How is she doing? Had the material penetrated the eyeball, or was it on the surface? The eye wash I have is Advanced Eye Relief Eye Wash by Bausch and Lomb that is around 5 dollars. Make sue if using another product that is safe to put in the eye.

It hadn't penetrated the eye thankfully, it looks like it got jammed into the tear duct? But maybe it was even a bit above that.

Great job on getting that out! Your girl must feel lots better.

Check the date on the bottle and if you would, let me know what it is, please.

Piperazine is good for rotating with other wormers so that they don’t become resistant to one product. Most of us cannot get piperazine any more, since they took Wazine off the market. I would keep it until is is outdated.

I know poultry worms, dealt with them enough.

I'm not quite sure what it was. You know how some grass sorta looks like mini green wheat plants? And how that grass has these seeds? I'm not actually sure if they are seeds or not, but I think it was one of those things just turned brown from the sun. And I'm guessing it got blown into their dust bathing area in their coup, or in this other place. And as she was taking a dust bath, you know how they roll their heads around in the dirt? I'm guessing it got jammed in when she was doing that. Of course I could be wrong, but that's just my best guess.
