Very similar over here. It's almost to 2 main bridges. Glad your safe!

Glad y'all are safe too! Are y'all high enough that it wont reach you?

Yes. We're on a hill. But the main flooded river is 2 miles from us. The pigeons aren't enjoying it!

I knew you were on a hill just not sure how high of one..
Is it causing much of an issue for other folks there?
Poor pigeons..

So 4 days ago I noticed Olive has some redness to the bottom of her right eye which is only apparent at very close range. I am not sure if it is new or if she always had it because the first photo I took of her on the way home from the shop also shows a little redness there but its not high definition. The left eye does not have this. She does not act abnormally or show signs of any irritation and it has not changed since i noticed it. Is this something to be concerned about? As shown by the last photo the redness is not always very apparent.

Yes. Several houses flooded. And some roads are under water.

I think it might just be her cere? I don't think there's anything to worry about. Cute pics.

Well, her ceres are a pale tan/flesh color and this is her actual eye, separate (and sometimes hidden by) her cere. (is cere used to refer to eye lids too? I knew it as the nostrils.)

It is not very apparent except up close in direct light but because it is only in one eye I was concerned.

The flesh around the eye is also called cere. I think I agree with you that redness isn't the cere and I think it's worth trying to figure it out. Sorry I don't have a diagnosis, does it seem to bother her? is she scratching it?

@Pyxis ?

I'd watch it. Something might be irritating it, or she may have scratched it or poked it. If it doesn't get better, you could try some terramycin eye ointment in it to see if that gets it better.
