Hello! I have a 18 month old hen. 12 days ago she showed signs of a swollen eye/sinuses to the point that her eye was basically swollen shut - but only the one. I separated her from the others and started giving her amoxicillin. I thought I heard her sneeze as well but we have also been having terrible pollen. I just assumed she had an early case of Coryza because the swollen face/eye was what happened in an old set of hens I had years ago.
I put her on antibiotics for 7 days. It’s seemed like her eye was 90% better but I wanted it 100% before we went off the meds. Then on day 8 I went out and it was more swollen again - not as bad as at the beginning - but still not right. At this point she has been on the antibiotics for 11 days and it seems like there is no change for the better or worse. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? She doesn’t seem to have any other symptoms.

Thanks for any help!
