What
should a fancier know about one-eyed colds?
One-eyed colds are
usually associated with a peck in the eye or some other type of physical
injury affecting the eye. They are also often confused with the onset
of mycoplasmosis.
The symptom of a one-eyed cold most commonly noticed is a watery or mucousy
discharge in only one eye. But occasionally both eyes will have a watery
appearance. Sometimes one eye can become completely shut depending upon
the degree of infection.
To prevent one-eyed colds, maintain proper ventilation and do not allow
overcrowded conditions. Keeping dust levels in the loft to a minimum is
considered good loft hygiene, because many types of infectious bacteria
are carried by dust particles.

catalog for medications for prevention and cure. |
