Uveitis in African Greys

Uveitis is an eye condition that causes inflammation to the inner parts of a bird’s eye (i.e. the iris). It is a common eye condition in various types of birds including the African Grey. Symptoms of Uveitis may include small pupils, inflammation on the inside of the cornea, retinal detachment, etc. As with any eye injury or illness, you should always contact your vet if you notice swelling, inflammation, discoloration, or bulging of the eye in your African Grey. Uveitis may also be a symptom of an internal disease in your African Grey. Your vet will need to conduct a thorough exam to make a diagnosis and possibly identify any underlying cause for the Uveitis. If left untreated, this condition may lead to cataracts, which may cause your African Grey to lose partial or complete vision. Generally, cataracts are not removed in smaller birds. Talk to your vet Louisville, CO for further information.
