Oculin is LDI’s Gentamycin Sulfate drop solution, labeled for eye and ear bacterial infections in gamefowl.

What Is Actually In It

LDI’s product page lists a single active ingredient: Gentamycin Sulfate at 5 mg per milliliter. Gentamycin is an antibiotic in the aminoglycoside class, commonly used topically because of how it distributes when applied directly to tissue rather than given systemically. That 5 mg/mL figure is transcribed exactly as LDI states it, with no conversion or rounding.

What the Label Says It Is For

LDI’s label states Oculin treats primary and secondary, simple or mixed bacterial infections of the conjunctiva, cornea and eyelids, and separately lists it as a treatment for ear infections in gamefowl. That is the manufacturer’s own indication text, reproduced above in the fact table. It describes what the label says the product targets, not a checklist for diagnosing which infection a given bird has.

Forms It Comes In

Oculin is sold as a liquid drop solution. LDI’s page gives separate instructions for eye application (into the conjunctival sac) and ear application (into the ear canal), both quoted verbatim in the dosage box above. This body text does not repeat, convert, or adjust that figure.

Withdrawal Period

LDI does not publish a withdrawal period for Oculin. Absence of a published figure is not the same as a zero-day withdrawal, and it is not treated as one here.

What This Page Does Not Tell You

This page transcribes what LDI publishes about Oculin. It does not tell a reader whether their bird’s eye or ear symptoms match a bacterial infection specifically, as opposed to an injury, an irritant, or a different kind of infection entirely that would need a different treatment. Take the bird’s actual symptoms to a veterinarian, an agrivet, or the local agriculture office before deciding on treatment.
