I am taking poor little blossom to the vets tonight. Thanks for all your replies regarding her short top beak I am feeling much better about that now, but her eye problem seems to be getting worse - swollen, discharge and shes just not herself. So, having weighed up the pros and cons of the stress of a vets visit opposed to letting nature decide, I've decided a little scientific intervention may be called for.

 

Hope I'm doing the right thing.

Good luck - the last thing you want is for the infection to spread. Hope everything goes okay, and that you don't get ripped off!

So glad I took Blossom to vets. She had a high temperature and conjunctivitus! The vet gave her two injections, an antibiotic and an anti inflamatory plus drops for her eyes. That should be fun, getting those into her eye twice a day! Any tips on that one!

No.... sorry. Having fun myself just getting Stella's beak open wide enough to syringe oral Baytril down her every day. That's a hurdle enough, good luck with the eye drops.....
