Is My Silkie Deaf?

[justplainbatty]

Yeah, I was thinking it would kill whatever is helping the infection grow though.. And watering it down won't work either..

thanks for the answer to ears above! I don't know how to quote parts of posts and multi post at the same time so, I'll just thank you here.

Her ears didn't smell.

She did react to the pot test.

She didn't react to the screeching test.


(Any other tests I am forgetting I didn't do?)

What do you mean by 'pot test'?

Well, reacting to the pot test is good. She is used to screeching so she didn't care about that. Try holding her in your lap, take your finger and sneak up behind her eye and try to touch it. If you can then she is blind. (do to each eye separately of course).

What do you mean by 'pot test'?

pots/pans smacked together behind the bird for a hearing/reaction test.

Oh okay.

I would also check for blindness too. But an ear infection or possibly a poke to the ear drum could effect the hearing.

I hope she will be ok!

One thing that could be is that she could have at some point received a blow to the head that could have damaged her sensitive head. She could be simple or retarded and that could cause the running into trees. Just a guess.
