I would cut off all the hair affected by the red yeast (as it can spread) w/blunt nosed scissors & keep the eyes dry. Constant tearing & wetness is a bacterial ground for yeast to thrive. I use baby terry cloths to wipe their eye area couple of x's a day. Growing the hair between the eyes also helps bc it will not poke the eye & cause tearing.
I also noticed that certain food (kibble) will make the staining &/or eye goober worse. I did a food sensitivity test for Turbo & found out that he's intolerant of chicken. If you've been feeding chicken for the most of her life, I suggest switching proteins to something she's never had. Continue w/the probiotics, as that kills the yeast. I've read that it can take up to 6 months for the probiotics to fully work, esp if there were extensive antibiotic usage...so no, angel eyes will not be a good & safe product to use. |
Thank you for such a helpful reply. The probiotic only started 6 weeks ago, so it may take a few months yet? I was not aware that Angel Eyes put Tylan in their tablets. I would never have considered the fluid as I knew it was a constituent, which I understood the company had now withdrawn?
