Eye Infection? Or something more?

[karma23]

Hey everyone - my girl has something going on with her eye. It doesn't hurt her, she is acting normally - eating, drinking, laying, etc. I was easily able to wipe it away. Some redness there through. She also has some white spots behind her ears. Is this a fungus maybe? Help?

If it's just the eye and she doesn't have any other symptoms like sneezing or a runny nose, I would go ahead and try some terramycin ointment on the eye and see if that clears it up.

Bubbly eyes like that can be the first sign of the onset of a respiratory disease though - have you ever had respiratory problems with your birds, or have you brought in any new birds lately?

I have never had any respiratory issues with them - this is the first. Oh, and no new girls. I will order some terramycin cream and try that. Thank you!!
