Hi Carla....Thank you for responding.  I'm hoping to administer the remedies/food by encouraging her to administer them to herself, which I've successfully begun experimenting with already.   I've barely even touched her before, which is the way she likes it!- therefore she allows me to come very close.  She has also liked the various foods I've given her and so she comes to me, and she's already been willing to try several new things, including the rough sand she needed as grit after she became severly bloated by scoffing my corn most days for several weeks or so.  (Going by her initial response to the corn, she'd never seen that before either).

Incidently, it was whilst she was in the process of becoming severly bloated that this eye problem began, by way of the whites of her eyes being bloodshot.  A week or so later they turned to a cloudy pink, some days looking more red than pink.  It's approximately 5 weeks later and most days they've been red, some days cloudy pink.  In the last few days she's been showing signs of pain by squinting, and closing her eyes tight shut for about 15secs whilst her head was expanding.  One day recently I thought there was a puffiness around each of her eyes.

My dear little friend down at the local park, "Gorgeous Goose" (-an American Buff; affectionate, intelligent), has been showing signs of pain in her eyes.  Having described her symptoms to a local vet, I've established that neither her vision nor her life are in danger at this point.  As she's possibly getting a little old and would never have been caught in her life, I'd like to spare her the stress of taking her to a vet.  And with my inclination to work with nature's natural healing processes, I'd like to find remedies/foods to cure this problem if possible.  If anyone reading this knows of foods to avoid or foods/remedies to deal with any kind of eye infection or with a sinus problem, I'd like to try them and use the process of elimination to cure this if possible.  The vet has told me what signs would indicate a threat to her life/vision, so I'll be on the look-out during this process.  Many thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
