deerrack Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 New here, I posted this on the health board without realizing that the post were old there, thought that I would re-post. Eye problems I have been reading about on the health board and I have had recently a similar incident where 3 or 4 of my birds have develop a watery eye. Very wet, rubbing on shoulder, almost gluing the eye lids closed but this only appears on the birds right eye. I seperated the hens from the cocks this winter and it started almost immediately with the hens and then 2 or 3 cocks developed it. I thought that something had blown into their eyes until I noticed just the right eye. I read about the one-eye colds but the information didn't say it would only affect only their right eye. I started applying Terramycin oitment and using Auromycin in the water. This seems to help in almost all of the birds. Has anyone else experienced this sort of problem.
David Home Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Now don't take this the wrong way. When I experienced the very same problem, a well known fancier said to me to spit in the affected eye of the pigeon. To my complete surprise this seemed to do the trick. Try it and see.

frank-123 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 you dont need to lick it just some juicy spit from your gob on its eye was what "eye" was told
deerrack Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 I will have to try the spit part. I don't smoke, never have, never will. Wife says that she has seen smoke come out of my ears before, don't know. The oitment and Auromycin seems to help quite a bit. Now it has switched from my homers to a couple of my rollers, opposite eye (left). I may never get to the bottom of this. Appreicate your help & comments.
