My little frizzle has a swollen eye- she is hot when I pick her up and today is the first sign that anything has been wrong. I have her in a crate by herself until I find out what is going on. Is it a sting? A bite? Infection? Any help would be greatly appreciated šŸ’• her right eye is normal

General eye care is to open the eye, flush it with saline, remove any pus or debris, then apply eye ointment like Terramycin in the eye. Do this twice a day.

Take note of other symptoms like mucous, bubbles in the eyes, coughing, wheezing, sneezing, etc. which would indicate respiratory illness. Look inside her beak to make sure there's no lesions or canker.

Hard to know what's causing the swelling.

Keep her eating/drinking.
