very lethargic hen with a yellow clouded eye and yellow/liquidy poop

[sophielophiemophiepophie]

we have a year and a half old hen who has a yellow clouded eye that irritates her. It started the day before yesterday and her other eye is very dilated like shes in pain. She hasn’t been moving much — shes very lethargic and picking at food and sleeping most of the day. We’ve been giving her VetRX, rooster booster, terramycin for her eye, and daily epson salt baths. Any clue on what this is and how we can help her?

can you do a compress on her eye and see if you can push any of the infection out?

the rooster( I assume you have a roo) probably got his beak in her eye while mating I hope she feels better but try vetricyn

Hi.. Thank you so much for the advice . Unfortunately we took her to the vet and she passed away while they were giving her fluids… necropsy came back and revealed she had mareks disease

I'm so sorry you lost her.
Its very unfortunate she had Marek's, that means your whole flock will have it for life, and any new birds you add will get it too. There is no cure.
Marek's can have different symptoms, and it can be severe or they may not show many symptoms.

Here's an excellent long article on Marek's.
