Urgent swollen eye

[penguindriver]

Hi
My kakariki has a swollen eye
There is no discharge, or lumps around eye area or anything stuck under eyelids just the eyelid swollen up and eye appearing to bulge out. I have flushed the eye with saline and have him is a small cage in warm dark area. Because of where I live an avian vet is not possible. Any ideas of what it could be. Note that the feathers are wet around eye area from me flushing the eye.

Could be an infection. You have to take him to a vet, even if it's not an avian vet.

Also, you can have them call Dr. Susan Orosz for a consult if they do not know how to treat it.
