Not sure what/if anything is wrong with this fellows eyes but i feel they should be open by now. Nest mates have nil issues and the eyes do not weep or have any marks.

Just need to know what may be wrong and what to do to fix it.

Sorry

Main issue is they wont open at all.

Not sure what is going on there but they do look very dry. Try dabbing some clear eye drops/ visine on them with a cotton bud just to soften them up to see if that works, don't use saline though it could make it even drier. Craig

Just had another look, has it even got eyes behind the lids.????

Chlorsig?

Yes the eyes move when i grab it and there is a tiny slit on one. Ill try eye drops.

I'm with vettepilot,Chlorsig is the go to drops.

Thanks for the advice guys

Chlorsig was what I was given and it deems to work.

I also used warm water and gently scratched some of the crap from the eye. One is open now and the other partially now.

That's great Elferoz hope all goes well
