Not sure if anyone remembers but few weeks ago I had posted about my IRN who has psittacosis. She was on meds for a long time and though the issue did get resolved, the conjunctivitis that came with it ended up getting worse. There was pus alongside her beak and maybe under her right eye and that has now caused her to go blind in that eye. Her treatment is still going on and she’s getting injections for the inflammation and and eye infection but I’m not sure if she’ll ever be able to see again. Her right eye is completely glued shut and the area is swollen.
She also had crop statis last week and we treated her for it and she’s better now. She’s eating and drinking but I’m worried about her eye and if it could be fatal for her.
Has everyone had a partially blind or blind bird? How do you care for them? I would like some tips.
I’ve already moved her to a small cage along with her mate. (Her mate is healthy and she follows his lead in the cage)
Aside from the treatment going on, what more can I for my baby? Is it safe to let her out of her cage? her wings are not clipped and with one eye, I’m afraid she’ll hurt herself.
She also seems to rub the closed eye on her perch a lot.
