I have a goldfinch who has conjunctivitis. He’s doing great, the other birds don’t bother him and his actually keeps them away from the feeder.
I caught a little Goldfinch with conjunctivitis– so blind in one eye that I just reached out and picked him up. Have him in a mesh cage with perches and clean food and water. Giving eye infection ointment previously for my cat 2x daily. Almost out. What is a safe treatment I could ask my vet for?
Hello, it’s imperative that you contact a certified wildlife vet or wildlife rehabilitator immediately. Possession and treatment of wild birds is against federal law without the proper permits and can incur heavy fines.
