Canary With Bad Eyes

[mudman 14]

I have a little white hen canary which has problems with both its eyes, they are both weeping and the lids are very slightly swollen. It was only 95% when I got a month ago. I went away for two week and the bird is grounded on the aviary floor with two 'wet' eyes and not looking very happy for itself. All the other birds look fine. I had similar with a cock bullfinch many years ago except in that case the eye lids were exceptionally swollen but the bird fed and behaved like it was okay, whereas this canary does not look like it is long for this world.

 

Any ideas what it could be and reccomended treatment ??

I clean my birds eyes with milk if they get a bit ov cold in them, always does the trick ... And i fetch them inside if they look a bit ropey

thanks, that was it.

 

I say was as I went in to take it into the house and it was an ex canary on the aviary floor.

 

just hope it is not too contagious, it is a big mixed aviary with 20 canaries in it.
