Clur Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think Dilys, the last of our original chooks, might be on her way out. She's lost weight and now her left eye has closed up. I thought she'd got something in it and bathed it in warm tea and it was fine for a couple of days but this afternoon it closed up again. Bathing it, I noticed her comb has lost some colour and she's got some small pinprick black spots at the tips. She's 2.d years old and lost her companion a couple of months ago, and though the intros with the new chooks went well and she's head-hen, I do worry she's found it stressful. I am taking her to the vets next week (she's not appearing to be in pain or discomfort), and adding a supplement to their water but wondered if there's anything else I should be doing for her eye until we can get her to the chook vet?

chelsea Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Glad you are taking her to the vets. It's probably just an infection but best to get it treated asap. Let us know how she goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
