Hello y'all - I've got a hen with a swollen face and bubbly eyes. I noticed one bubbly eye yesterday, and hoped it was just eye irritation. Unfortunately, today both are bubbly + her face is swollen. After researching, I'm thinking it's probably mycoplasma.
If possible, I'd like to avoid going to the vet due to expenses (as from my understanding, she'd need treatment for the rest of her life and I'd rather not end up accidentally exposing other avians to the disease). However, I'm having difficulty finding a place to get the medication (tylosin, could do other antibiotics if they're easier to obtain) from online without a prescription. I'm in southeastern PA, if that helps with finding a physical store.
Thanks!
