Treatment of chicken pox in chicken eyes

Fowl pox is a common infectious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is mainly transmitted through airborne droplets. If you find that a chicken has chicken pox in its eyes during the process of raising chickens at home, you should take the following treatments in time:

1. Isolate sick chicks: Separate sick chicks from other healthy chicks to prevent further spread of the virus. The quarantine period is generally 1-2 weeks.
2. Keep it clean: Clean the pustules around the chicken's eyes. You can use clean water or warm salt water to gently wipe them. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid eye damage.
3. Apply eye medication: You can consult a veterinarian and buy appropriate eye drops or eye ointments to treat chicken pox in the eyes. Follow the instructions for use of the medicine.
4. Adjust diet: Ensure that the chicks have a balanced diet and give them more vitamin-rich feed. Adequate vitamins help improve the chicks' immunity.
5. Observe the condition: Closely observe the changes in the condition of the chickens and adjust the treatment plan in time during the treatment process.
