Swollen eye?

[AppleMomma65]

My EE Mel looks like she has a a small eye irritation/swollen eye. While others were green ranging, I found her on the roost in the coop. I put some antibiotic ointment on it. Any other suggestions?

I'm kinda in the same boat as you. I would keep an eye out for any bubbles or foam in the eye, nasal drainage, sneezing, or crackly breathing, or weird smell as these are symptoms of respiratory disease which in your photos, your bird looks healthy. I'd suspect an eye infection in your bird.

I don't know if Green Goo will work or not but I've flushed mine out with a normal saline solution and then put plain neosporin in its eye twice per day. Terramycin is recommended but more expensive. Time will tell I guess.

Rinse the eye with saline and apply an eye ointment like Terramycin. See if that helps.
