Hi everyone,
I'm seeking help with an eye infection of a 7mth old blue naped Philippine parrot.
Her name is Bonnie and she developped the problem a few weeks ago.
treatment with anti biotics given with the drinking water didn't solve the problem.
The eye looks "cloudy" she keeps it closed most of the time and seem to have difficulties seeing with that eye./
Other than that she is doing fine and even participates in clicker training.
She is together with her brother Clyde and still the boss in the cage:)

What can I do as good avian doctors are rare to find
thanks
Thomas with Bonnie and Clyde

Welcome, and thank you for posting!
I'm moving this over to Dr. C's Expertise. This is the sort of post that is best left to an avian veterinarian to answer.

This sounds like a serious problem that needs veterinary attention. Please try to contact someone local.

Can you send me a photo of the parrot's eye?
