Well I bathed Lou Lou's eye twice in salty water and then today so far twice more using a soft facial wipe dipped in tea. It is looking heaps better! :hap:

 

How often should I bathe her eye per day? :sadsorry:

 

 

You can use the teabag itself Renee. How many times you must guage by checking her...maybe twice....your choice.

 

 

i bath twice if just red looking and if inflamed three times per day for two to three days then twice for week

or intill normal

but keep seperate for longer

Here's a close up of Lou Lou's eye:

(maybe a bit blurry, she was not the most co-operative of models)

Latest update: a better photo of Lou Lou's eye - (okay, maybe not )

 

Hoping the Ionic Silver arrives soon.

Too late - problem solvered!

Renee have you got a clearer photo, but my hen looked much worse her eye swelled up so bad and had a big lump towards the the eye and red it was crimson red, but swashing in warm boiuled salted water 3 times a day and looking much better no rednes anymore and the swelling has gone down heaps. still not great yet though, I have started her on a broadspectrum antibotic advised by the avian vet.

But I believe it's the salt water that is doing the job, killing all those rotten little germs.

 

Actually it is the hen below her left eye

Well Julie, I Have Tried to get a good photo - and failed. I bought Kaz's "old" camera before Christmas and am just awaiting delivery ... maybe then my photos will improve :offtopic:

 

As I indicated I bathed her eye in salt water and then switched to tea, there was an improvement which you can't see really and now today she is on the Ionic Silver liquid which was the original plan from Friday. I expect to see a slow but steady improvement.

 

If I can describe it I would say it is like her inner eye lid has swollen up, but you can now see her eye which you couldn't on Monday.

 

okay, Take 3. I have fiddled with the camera settings ... you be the judge

 

 

Note that I offer her my thumb to chew on in the hope it keeps her head still?! She has the reputation of a being "biter" in the nest .... but she wasn't biting today

Have you maybe got the focus set to background focus only? so anything in the foreground is blurred?

 

What if you used the Macro setting? Does your camera have that? It's good for extreme close ups

 

My little cinnamon had sore red eyes. I've been bathing them in salt water and they are almost normal again. Salt water is brilliant stuff :offtopic:

Who knows ... really at this stage I have accepted that I will never produce a good photo ... yes, I have it on the macro setting (the flower) ... apologies, apologies, apologies

Its all good, we can still see the poor eye. I hope she gets better soon :offtopic:

ren im no better than you at photos

really some days i will snap away not trying and get fantastic rezults then other times i will try and all blurry

i hope to post pics of my new chicks but they are so bad they look like blobs of cotten wool not chicks

hopeing lou lou gets well soon

how ever i really believe salt water is the best as that silver stuff can actually irritate so just be very watchful

as i said i use broline a cream for mild conjunktavitous (man that was really wrong ) if the salt water does not take effect and if the cream does nothing its guarantee vet issue

At present she is getting 1-2 drops of Ionic Silver 3 times a day. Actually she is showing no signs of discomfort at all and blinks it in perfectly.

 

I found the tea bag a bit messy and tea was going down her ear .... the eye dropper works a treat.

i never said use a tea bag i would have assumed u used an eye dropper for the salt water

but as long as shes completable and its looking better that's all that counts

This boy of mine has had a irritated eye for a long time too I might try the ionic silver next.

This eye....his right eye

It is looking lots better now and slowly but surely the swollen red inner part of her upper right eye is coming down.

Ionic silver can be found in any health food shop. Weigh up the costs julie....you may be able to get some locally from a healthfood shop or a naturopath.
