I was given a 12 week old lavender orpington two or three weeks ago. She was fine for a few days and then her eyes started bubbling and then swelling. At first I thought it was irritants, and then stress since she had traveled from southern california to northern california. I left her for a day or two to see if it would clear up, then put ophthalmic gel (vetericyn) for a few days. After a week i thought it was a respiratory thing and have been giving her oxytetracycline antibiotics as instructed by her breeder. It's been a week and a bit and the swelling has gone down but the bubbling has not gone down as much as i'd like and now her eye seems wider with irritated eyelids. The bubbling gets worse if i pick her up. She's eating, drinking, preening, and very very friendly. No mucous or clogged throat. She scratches at her eyes sometimes and if she sleeps for awhile one gets sealed loosely shut. Her poops are watery and frequent, not good. Does anyone think this is a respiratory infection or could it be eye worms?
Here are pictures taken the first day, the end of the first week, and the last two are from today. How can I help her?
