Parrot finch "swollen eye"
My parrot finch seems to have gotten an infection or something in his eye is there something I can do to help it heal. He keeps scratching at it and it is watery and swollen. Any suggestions for this little guy?

I had a similar problem last year with one of my parrotfinches. I put Natural Tears eyedrops in her eye and it healed within a few days.

Re: Parrot finch "swollen eye"
Eye swelling can also be a sign of a sinus infection... can you post a picture of the area? Also check the nares to make sure there is no crusting, if so post a picture.... you may need an oral antibiotic if it is a sinus infection.
