Hi I have a Quail which was I think bullied, It has a swollen eye which is closed, It has been bathed with warm water which opens it but the eye looks redish pink inside. Any Ideas. Rixbreak
You can use some Terramycin eye ointment on it if you have any. In a pinch, I have used regular human eye drops to sooth the eye till I could get some eye ointment. Keep the bird by itself for a day or so till the eye heals enough that the bird can see out of it. Remove any bullies in the pen, offer up enough space and if all fails, keep this bird with other gentle birds so there is no bullying. Oh, and welcome to BYC!
