Gloss-Hen Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hello I really need some help. 3 of my chooks have got eye infections. I don't know what to do and I'm starting to panic I went away last Saturday with all my chickens looking healthy but I've come back to find 3 of them with swollen/crusty looking eyes. My grandma was looking after them and did all the things we usually do. Can I use eyedrops or something like that Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 If they are sneezing and snotty too, I'd get them to a vet toot sweet, as it may be mycoplasma, which needs antibiotics fairly urgently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloss-Hen Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thank you, they have'nt got snotty/sneezing and i read though some of the previous posts and found about bathing the eye but thank you anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egghead68 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 How are they doing? If no improvement I woiluld take them to the vet. You don't always get obvious respiratory problems with mycoplasma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty14 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 If their eyes are foamy/bubbling then definitely get checked for Mycoplasma by a vet, one of my girls showed this about 2 days after I got her! Otherwise you can buy Honeywells Eye Balm from Jolleyes pet stores/internet/etc. Tiacil is an antibiotic eye drop but a vet prescribes this. By the way, most chickens hate having stuff put in their eyes so its best if one holds her and another adminsters any medicine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
