Chlamydia in Eyes

Does anyone know anything about chlamydia in eyes. Symptoms are sudden swollen, crusted eyes with clear nose drainage. Vet said he thought clamydia which may have come from bird poop. Six week old puppy whose only exposure would have been playing on porch where it was noticed that birds may have rested on light fixture and pooped? Puppy otherwise is eating, drinking, playing and appears healthy and well.

Puppy

  Is this a puppy you have raised since birth or did you purchase this puppy?  I did a google arch and found some interesting information on Chlamydia Psittaci.  Here's one article  http://www.avianbiotech.com/Diseases/Chlamydia.htm

Treatment

Curious what the vet is treating it with?  What a strange thing if it is from bird poop.  I hope puppy will be fine.
