Zoom Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 We just noticed this today. Kazoo (14-year-old Amazon) is closing her right eye for a few seconds at a time, several times each minute. There's no discharge or anything like that. She seems to be feeling okay - no noticeable differences in health, behaviour or activity except for the one eye. Any ideas what might be going on here?

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 NOT normal. I'm pretty conservative when taking my birds to vet, but this needs attention. May be just something in bird's eye. An easy fix with flushing. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikachu Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I would have it checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It does sound like something that should be checked out, at least give your vet a call and inquire and let us know what you find out please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWIX Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I have made some research over the internet and found this link: http://www.mit.edu/~rei/Birds-sick.html It might be helpful. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikachu Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Just wondering how Kazoo is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 She seems fine, thanks for asking! The one-eye-closing thing only lasted for one evening. The next morning I watched her very carefully and was prepared to take her to the vet if it continued to happen, but fortunately it had stopped. But holy hormones! She's definitely in a destructive mood! Every chance she gets, she's looking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thats great, she probably had something in her eye that was irritating her and it came out on its own, alls well that ends well, thanks for letting us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
