Hi,
My 5 year olds hen seemed fine yesterday morning but by mid-day she was hiding under the house. When I finally got her out, she was gasping for air and kept her left eye closed. It has been very rainy and wet for a week and yesterday was the first warm sunny day, so I thought she might dehydrated or egg bound. I gave her water and put her in a crate indoors. This morning she had a big poop so I don’t think she’s eggbound and her eye was open but she kept closing it. I put some vetrx on her head last night and this morning and put a little Neosporin on the eye in case it was scratched. Maybe a sinus infections since she is wheezing a little? What’s the best remedy? I was able to get a photo of her eye and I don’t know if that tiny spot is normal or a tiny parasite? Any help or advice is appreciated.
I don’t have access to a vet and I’d like to try natural remedies before I buy drugs.
We aren’t here in the winter (due to work) so they stay at a friends barn which doesn’t have the sunshine and fresh air in winter. We picked them up a week ago so I’m not sure about her behavior prior to the last week.

She seems much better. More energy and less wheezing. Her left eye is open but the pupil seems funny. It’s not centered... instead of it being in the center of her eye and round, it’s oval and more towards the front of her eye.
I can’t seem to get a good photo. You can see it a little in this one...
Any ideas? I just don’t want to neglect something I should be dealing with.
