One of our meat pen buns had a swollen eyelid a couple of days ago, and it has gotten worse. Today it was more swollen and had gunk oozing. I went to our local tractor supply and bought some Pen G and put two drops into the eye, like you would eyedrops. I have used this in the past and it has helped. Any other suggestions? Ideas on what could have caused it? I am thinking something as simple as a nail catching the eyelid when grooming could have caused it. I have isolated it and am keeping it in a smaller carrying cage so it is not able to run it into as much or its siblings don't hurt it worse. It looks like it has scratched it since I treated it, and now has a little scab forming on it. Hoping to get it healed in 2 1/2 weeks so my daughter can take it to the fair. Its our best one out of the whole group, would be a shame if we cant get it healed in time, but I am not holing my breath.
Better note, we had a litter of Hollands born this weekend, on the coldest night we have had. 2 made it, 2 didn't, but at least we got 50%
