Questions about eye problems! D:

Hey guys. Rambo (the only one with an eye problem now) got better, but now its not looking as good anymore again.
I have a tube that i got recently from the vet for use on my pet rats eyes when she was sick and they were goopy and gross. Does anyone know if it will work?

Vetropolycin
bacitracin-neomycin-polymyxin
veterinary opthalmic ointment

I did a web search and found two sites where people were using it on pigeons and rescued birds.... but the official info says for cats and dogs. Why not call a vet and ask them?

Regardless of which ointment you wind up using, my small little offer of help would be to suggest to use sterile q-tips. Put ointment on the fuzzy part without touching it and one swipe on the eye. Then switch ends. That way you will never cross contaminate. Hope your chickies get better!!
