She is eating fine. No sneezing or lethargy or crackly . I was trying to remove it but it would not come out. I’m glad I didn’t because now I am not sure if it is pus or a part of her eye that is swollen. Here is another pic.
No.
Much better. Thank God. Thanks for being so kind.
The meds below for the eyes plus metacam oral, Plus nebulizer medication. I think he did something with her eyes. But I dont think he needed to perform crazy eye surgery. I don’t have the metacam in the picture but you know what it is. He said the drops would be a start for the eyes. Since she is not having any respiratory symptoms… “meaning issues with her breathing or lungs”. He didn’t think she needed systemic therapy and wanted to just start with localized therapy. Nonetheless he did still give me medication to do nebulizer treatments and to have in the event that she does develop respiratory issues. But basically no systemic therapy for now. I guess you could call nebulizer treatment sort of systemic. It has some drugs in it. I have been doing the nebulizer treatments because they are good for her lungs… and it helps to break up any mucus. But basically he said it is either viral or bacterial. If it is bacterial then the drops will work. If it is viral he said the virus needs to take its course and we would just do supportive care. Her eyes are no longer swollen. Thanks to our a Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and medication. She still has good energy, she still eats and drinks fluids. I am providing her rooster booster vitamin in her water. You know the famous one all you folks know about. That one.. Basically a virus has to take its course so all you would do is supportive care. Yes I know that perhaps there are antiretroviral medications like the ones we give people with shingles, HIV, herpes just to name a few… He did offer to do cultures but he then told me that the total cost would be very expensive. I knew that the meds and the visit cost would be expensive
alone. He said he could send the test out but it would involve the state and it would be expensive. I opted out with the cultures. He agreed that was a good idea. I like how honest he was and not pushy. So I am just praying now and provider her the best care possible. For now I plan to read poultry text books intended for veterinarians to supplement my learning.
