Hi there

 

Check the eyes, if watery then you need antibotics as it will be cold eye illness. Which will lead to respoary then do death.

 

The vet prescribes brytril. But tablets are avaliable that do a better job.

 

Thanks

you can get eye drops from body and ridewood or one eye cold tablets

is there bubbles in the water in the eye if so could be one eye col;d, needs treatment, has it been in a fight,

if it has bubbles on the bottom eylid its one eyed cold , without antibiotics , try and put a clean spit,, in the eye [ a spit from a non smoker and non drinker] this spit contains a kind of antibiotic that can cure it ,,,optrex , cold tea bag , will help

Bit strong that I reckon ... Spit in it.... tomra it will start getting better, so sit in it again mucker. Then check it's perch place and you will be looking for a little hole, or a knot that has fallen out. It is most likely getting a draught in the eye... from just the one side.

Yep and a cold tea bag will also be an asset mucker.

You should be able to tell from the birds eye cere and maybe its wattle if its been fighting, signs of blood or signs of a nip, even a tiny fleck of white missing ..

its just that a friend of mine has an african grey & he asked me the question

[jimmy white]

can one eyed cold kill a pigeon,

is it the same as a parrots one eyed cold?

whats the best treatment??

 

it is usually a respiratory problem which could lead to blindness ,,, but could also lead to a more serious ornithosis, then with secondary infection ,, etc, but can be treated easily to begin with ,,, I'm not sure if this could be the same in parrots [i do know that African Grey's are very good at masking over any disease]

[jimmy white]

is there bubbles in the water in the eye if so could be one eye col;d, needs treatment, has it been in a fight,

 

this is the tell tale sign ,,bubbles on the bottom eyelid ,,,but other than that , could have damaged its eye or even something in it [although unusual , as a pigeon has a third eyelid that protects it ,,,acts like a windscreen wiper ] as for a parrot , i couldnt advice [even though i have one ]    vets the best for that one
