Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Welcome to the forum, Easy . Sorry you've got a poorly girl . I've no experience of that but there have been a few threads about something which sounds similar. Hope that helps . (Nice to see another Scottish member on the forum .) http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=37130&hilit=bubbles+eye http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=35947&hilit=bubbles+eye http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=34149&p=533736&hilit=bubbles+eye#p533736 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 How scarey. As ANH says there have been some posts recently. If I remember rightly it was treated ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hello Easy & welcome from me too. Sorry to hear your lady has a sore eye. Perhaps a trip to the vet if it doesn't clear up soon. Hope she is OK Allisonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It is most likely to be mycoplasma - take her to the vet and get some anti-biotics to clear it up asap so it doesn't weaken the bird or spread. Even if its not myco its not 'usual' and I would get her to the vet for a diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I agree with what has been said, that it is typical of mycoplasma, and would urge you to take her to the vet. Let us know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sounds like it to me too - if so, it will need treating quickly as it can afffect the egg tackle if left to progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeastar--x Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 the vet should prescribe baytril and reccomend that you bathe her eyes in salty water to clear away any nasty scabbyness around the eyes left by the bubbles. mine were so bad her eyes closed up from the bubbles, but shes fine now mycoplasma can get nasty if not treated, but youve caught it on time, and aslong as she gets some baytril in her, shell be fine. Dont panic too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't use salty water as it will sting the chook's eyes - use cooled boiled water, or cool, black tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
