last season when one of my ybs got one eyed cold i used optrex infected eye drops for conjuncivitis from the chemist, it cleared it up in a few days.......

theres only one cure and thats an antibiotic take this as you wish you need doxycycline, lincospectrum and tylan mixed, you might think it has gone with eyedrops but look at the ears the feathers will be puffed out , upper respitory but like i say take it as you wish

enrofloxcin for 7-10 days is the cure i said for it mate but some people use the drops and say its worked

thats baytryl mate yes it will work its a broadspec antibiotic but i wouldnt use anything like that its too servere, each to there own tho hope ya get sorted
the drops will clear the swollen eye but not the respitory

sorry gunner i,ve edited my post for certain reasons,but i have my own views on it

gunner i have some antibiotic eye drops which also contain chloramphenicol which is used for acute bacterial infections, as the ears , nose and throat are all conected i would assume it would cure anything within these that are infected........

dox t is another good product and easy on the birds would use enroflox as last resort

some guys have had this and say its insect bites from small mosquitoe type insect i dont know as i aint exsperienced it but maybe thats why it goes away without treatment and could even cause a virus look at malaria not saying it is but worth a thought

if its one eye cold half an asprin over 2 days usually shifts it

What a coincidence that this question has come up Ray, what a shame it didnt come up a few weeks ago, its almost like someone was prompted to ask it. Glad to see people are on the ball.

Fat eye , Pod eye whatever you want to call it its really Chlamydia of the eye take it to a vet and ask. Its spread right across the country. If you havent got it now get some Doxycycline cos its coming!
