Hello again,
We have a maran who's around 3-4 weeks old. For about the last 5-6 days she's been keeping both eyes closed the majority of the time. It first started with the right eye being closed and now it's generally both eyes that are kept closed. They don't look swollen and she can open them. When we take a closer look there doesn't seem to be anything noticeably wrong. There's no discharge, she's still walking around eating and drinking, etc. We're in Canada so we can't get terramycin easily and all the vets in the area aren't taking new patients. We've been using polysporin (unmedicated) on her eye a couple times a day for the last few days and it doesn't seem to be helping her. We've also tried flushing her eyes as well. She'll rub her eyes against her wings quite frequently as well.
We're at a loss of what to do. She doesn't seem to have any other symptoms. There was a bout of sneezing that went around 2 weeks ago in the brooder but that's since stopped. We've ordered some terramycin online and it's not getting here for another week or so.
Any suggestions or opinions would be appreciated!
