Hi

I just bought in a cock bird from the aviary, and it seem's his eye is infected. swollen, lots of rubbing. It looks like his inner eyelid.

 

I bathed it in warm salt-water, but I am just wondering, if he has something stuck under there making it go swollen, how do I get it out? is a very expensive vet visit on it's way?

Dunno Squeak. I wouldnt mess with eyes. Sorry, cant help at all

You can bathe it with the warm water from a teabag. If you have any CHLORSIG ointment you can use that. Chlorsig is used for people, dogs, cats and birds. Its surprising how many people have some already at home.

I dunno, I aksed mum and she said she hasn't heard of anything like it? Also, when you say bathe, I got a syringe and put one drop on the eye, then got a cotton bud and wiped the are around it. Is this right? He rubbed his eye alot afterwards on the perches/with his foot.

 

So make a cup of tea (no milk ), remove teabag, and use the tea?

Forget the cotton bud, use the teabag

you can just use eye drops also one drop in eye

thats it so easy

i use broline eye ointment for treatment of conjunctivitis

Broline is good

Were can i buy broline from? So it is okay to place teabag directly on eye, then put a few drops in eye?

 

Thanks guys! Will try suggested cures.

Get the teabag with tea in it and wipe across the eye.

 

Broline......chemist.

yep chemist it last for ever and even survives the washing machine

Squeak do you reckon you could post an picture of the little guy?

 

I passed a bird today in the pet shop that had something wrong with his eye....but not having any experience I couldn't really say or do anything.

Has cleared up ALOT since yesterday. it is barley swollen. I will try and get a picture

Glad to hear it's improved squeak. good news the teabag worked.... it's a great remedy to remember even if you or your family have sore eye's. cold tea is magic!!!!

I only managed to get one applicaton on this morning, as I was out shopping (got a new dress ) most the day.

 

Here is the cocks eye, starting to get a tiny bit more inflamed towards night, so I am going to get another application on now. (that would make two today)

( I caight it on the wrong angle, it only covers approx. 1/3 of eye. It is darker then yesterday, it was more of a red/pink colour yesterday,

 

poor little guy. I'm glad he is in your capable hands Squeak

 

The bird I saw had more of a crust happening...no where near as bad as this

he probably had scaley
