umbrella thursday Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 After a clear run with two of our bantams still running around and laying at nearly ten, I've had lots of bad luck with the new girls recently. Now one of my Barbu d'uccles has one eye swollen shut and the other is watery and bubbly. Google has not been my friend and I'm worried it could be many things. I have some amoxicillin for humans. Could I give her some of that? I've no idea what I'm dealing with. Help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I've never experienced it myself but I'm afraid it does sound like it could be mycoplasma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I agree with mullet hunter. Have they got rattly chests? For now I would isolate the two and arrange for them to be seen by the vet. If their eyes are very gunky you could bathe them with a weak saline solution.

umbrella thursday Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thank you both for your replies. It's just the one bantam who has it. No rattle congestion, tail still up and eating etc. I've kept her inside for a couple of days and she seems a lot brighter eyed this evening. I will keep an eye on her.
