Yes considered a peck, But the eye sear discolouring may me think it could be respiratory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest strapper Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 swelling of the eye can indicate resp infection...namely ornithosis...but can also mean a peck...i would use an eye infection product..namely chloramphenicol...i get mine from the docs for my hayfever. this will start to clear things up within 48hrs.

Wiley Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 In my opinion discolouration of the Eye sear and swollen would be a ornithose problem. The best way to treat it is at first using either slipsanol or nazaline to clear the head, followed by either an individual or flock treatment of Tylan or Doxycycline.

Guest maricelbill Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 is there a cure or preventative these days for respiratory disease? back in the day Old Hand said kill the lot, genocidal purification ritual (you can tell I've been away a while) B' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQuinn Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Fanciers who know me know that ordinarily i treat for nothing except one eye cold. This year however i had a run of greasy wattles that just would not clear up. A very good friend gave me a tub of TYLAN and advised a 5 day course. The entire team are in top order now and ready for the basket. You could have problems getting it as it is only available on prescription but if you get on well with your local vet he should get it for you.

Tylan is very easily accessible in Spain for as cheap as £8. It's a sickener especially if you just paid for it via the vet, however i get most medication from Spain now and it works as cheap as chips compared to the prices over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
