Thank you so much the only problem is getting my hands on that eye ointment! :/. Is it from over the counter medicine? Like visine or something like that.

It looks like you will have to get it from a doctor. I can't find it OTC.

Really how would I do that? You think visine would help?

[Sunshine]

I don't know. Maybe you could ask a vet? I would not use Visine. The medicine is called Chloramphenicol and from what I read has an antibiotic in it. Makes sense since red leg is a bacterial disease... I know this sounds crazy, but maybe you could talk to your doctor and see if they will give you a prescription?
