Eye Infection
Our take
Oh dear, it sounds like your beloved hen is having a bit of a rough time with her eye! At six or seven years old, our feathered friends can face various health hiccups, and this cloudy eye situation definitely calls for some attention. Since her eye was initially closed and has now turned cloudy with hidden pupils, it’s crucial to act sooner rather than later. While topical treatments like Terramycin ophthalmic ointment can be beneficial for certain eye infections, it’s essential to first assess the situation thoroughly. Lethargy is a red flag, so a trip to the vet may be the best course of action to ensure your hen gets the care she needs. Remember, keeping her cozy and comfortable in the meantime will help!
A hen around 6 or 7 years old has had eye issues for around two weeks. It began with her eye closed over with her eyelid, but has now developed to her eye open but it is cloudy/blue and her pupils is hidden. It seems that eye is blind. She is also lethargic. Ive never tried a topical ointment before, like a Terramycin ophthalmic ointment. Would an eye ointment be applicable, if not, how should I proceed. Thank you

- swollen eye?hello, my family rescued three hens a couple of days ago. this is the first time we have taken care of chickens and so we have a very slim amount of knowledge but we are trying our hardest to provide a good life for them. I'm posting here because one of the hens has had an incredibly swollen eye the entire time we have had her. the picture is included, I hope it is somewhat easy to see - her eye stays shut like this the vast majority of the time. I'm not sure if this should be chalked up to an injury before we got her or if it is a health concern. If anyone could offer their advice or give any suggestions, it would be extremely appreciated. I'm also happy to provide more pics/info if needed. thank you! submitted by /u/NeedleVast [link] [comments]
