At first I thought it was in her eye, but looked again and it looks like it might be on her eye. It’s been in this position for 2 days. I have been putting an ointment in her eye for the last 2 days with no change. (Also pictured here)

She is constantly rubbing it and chirping, like help me. It’s a white wierd shaped area. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do. It doesn’t appear that she is blind.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

It may be an eye ulcer or corneal abrasion from a peck injury. Can you try to see a vet? Do you have any eye ointments? The eye probably needs to be irrigated with saline or eye wash which is found in most pharmacies. Then Terramycin eye ointment or polysporin eye drops can be used 2-4 times day. A vet would be your best bet for a good outcome.

Thank you I attached a picture of the eye ointment I’m using. I do have eye wash, pictured included. Should flush with this?
