I’m my budgie has some red on his eyelid the vet prescribed the medicine I have listed on the top . But vet rx says don’t use this in birds , they said use one drop 3x a day. Has anyone ever used this stuff ?
Yes I have heard of these being used. They are prescribed for conjuctivitis. It is a basic catch all for bacterial infections of the eye. Often however conjuctivitis is a sign of other problems. How is your birds breathing? After 14 days your bird should be re examined. Should this reoccur or not be alleviated by the above prescribed medications, it's time to look deeper. Hopefully that won't be necessary.
hi I went in a vet forum and I also called my other avian vet and was told this medicine should not be given to birds due to the dexamethasone, this is a steroid and they can be sensitive to it..
The red around his eye lid is almost completely gone, it’s only been a day and I didn’t give him the meds,, so I believe it’s from his rubbing his face due to molting, he breathing is fine
