If you own an African Grey or other type of bird then you’re probably used to the number of times your bird has fallen from his perch, accidentally flown into something in the house, or even managed to get dust into his eyes. Birds can be activity creatures and with activity comes occasional injury. If you notice that your African Grey has injured his eye, contact your vet immediately. Signs of an eye injury can include a red, swollen eyelid, partial or total closure of the eyelid, squinting, rubbing of the eye and side of the face with the wing, discoloration of the eye surface, inflammation of the third eyelid, etc. These symptoms could be from a variety of causes, but may generally be from trash, debris or other irritants entering your bird’s eye. Your vet Louisville, CO may have you flush your bird’s eye with water or a preservative-free saline. For more details, click here.
