Scarlet had a shower yesterday, she was sticking her head under the water heaps. Can water effect her eyes? Maybe she is just tired or I'm over reacting but she seems to be a bit dopey in the eyes.
Not swollen, it's not an infection or anything like that.
She has been closing them a lot the last hour, it's still light outside and not close to bed time yet so she shouldn't be tired.. I don't know.
 
I don't know what kind of water you have. Are u using kloramin (NNaCl,3H20) to clean the water?
My eyes can't handle kloramin.
 
Nope, and i don't know what is in our water. Might look it up.. Didn't think of that. It's just the water from the shower, but she was putting her head in it a lot more then usual playing in the water, so I'm just not sure if that's affected her eyes or not.
 
My birds like to close their eyes after showers too. They become really calm and quiet and tend to take a nap. Maybe this is what your bird is doing.
 
It was the next day, she was looking at me at one point with one eye half open and the other fully shut.
She seems to be fine now, so I don't know what happened lol..
Guess it was just me over reacting again!
 
Maybe something in the water irritated her eyes. That seems like a long time though. Could she have gotten soap or something in her eyes?
 
Nope, as soon as I bring anything soap into the shower she goes out. I don't have her anywhere near it. so not too sure why she was doing it..
Like I said she is okay today, but I will let you guys know if anything persists!

Good! :)
And I don't think you over react. Better caring too much than not at all.
