When to Return Sick Bird?

[mylilchix]

A week ago I moved one of my silkies into the house because his left eye was bubbly and he was sneezing. I put him on antibiotics and did eye washes with him. By Thursday his eye was clearing up and by the weekend his sniffles were gone. When can I return him to the flock? On the bright side everyone else is healthy

.

Thanks,

Well, honestly, if you do return him, the others can still catch what he had, if it was one of the carrier diseases. I hope not, but those symptoms are a bit scary, especially the frothy eye. Just know that the others could start coming down with symptoms and watch out for that, if you decide to put him back with them.
