 Hi guys, I realise this is a bit like asking: &amp;#39;my dog has conjunctivitis, give me drops&amp;#39; but I&amp;#39;d really appreciate if someone has any experience on what are most likely conditions in this case (if you do know).

&lt;p&gt;I have discussed this with the owner, also potential zoonosis. the first thing I did was to ask them to stop treatment since this didn&amp;#39;t seem to help. and things are already improving. would now discussed with the owner about your suggested tests. fg&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: conjunctivitis in a parrot.

IF its wheezing probably worth looking at the oculo-cutaneous manifestations of systemic disease angle, eg Aspergyllus if its gone outside in damp conditions. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: conjunctivitis in a parrot.

Make sure dietary Vitamin A levels are adequate and if in doubt supplement this with one of the avian multivitamin powders.&lt;/p&gt;
