Wow so sweet! Thank you. Yea it's late. Don't these things usually happen like this? Ha! I try to keep the essentials on hand for our cats,chickens,ducks and goats. I know that whenever I've had either pink eye or a sty,a hot compress always felt so good. For the few minutes it lasted. I think hot would be too much for her. Warm is the safest way to go without hurting her,but still being of help. Oh yea! She's awesome other than that. You wouldn't think she's only got the one eye right now.
I also try to keep things on hand i know when they start going down they go with a hurry and sometimes illness is hard to see beforehand. Im not surprised shes still pushing to look good for you as thats how they behave, and its a good thing! I would think, the warm would help the sweeling your seeing. Your going to need to make sure she doesnt get dehydrayed, i know anytime, fever brings dehydration. Also, i personally would be scared for the flocks health and i would quarenteen, But, i only have 30 birds, total species count so thats easier for me to say than lots of people!
You know ,I actually thought of gently rinsing it out with a plastic syringe. She would not think too highly of me for a loooooong while. Lol
i told you that you know more than me i would be mad at a giant for sprayin me in the eye too! (even a treat dispensing human!) i understand how some birds just arent great lovers of their people, and i hope she doesnt make things too hard! Shes probly going to be a handful, just in how shes looking out for the babes, my heart goes out to you!
