Symptoms and Treatment of One-Eye Cold in Parrots
One-eye cold is a common contagious eye condition in parrots, marked by swollen conjunctiva, watery discharge, lethargy, reduced appetite, and weakness, with respiratory signs in severe cases. If you notice these symptoms, take them seriously and treat promptly. Care begins with isolating the sick bird and disinfecting the cage, then gently cleaning the eye and applying bird-specific drops such as bird-specific eye drops or human erythromycin ointment—treating both eyes even if only one is infected. Serious cases need antibiotics under a vet's guidance. Daily hygiene, clean food and water, and regular check-ups are the best prevention.
