I hate to say it, but I agree...it's not an eye infection, they will all exhibit this "eye problem" eventually. It starts looking like an eye problem and then you may notice them weezing or having trouble breathing, with or without sneezing. This is a forever problem for these birds. Some will die of this and some may not but carry it forever and cause other birds to be sick. I may be repeating what others have said, but it is important. Your best bet if you are determined is baytril. It is expensive and only a vet can get it for you. They will still be carriers but it does seem to be effective (atleast for my flock). Why it is effective is not clear....this is a viral thing and baytril is an antibiotic, perhaps it clears a secondary infection?
