I have a pair of pigeons nesting in my balcony and the day before yesterday, the 16 day old babies were attacked by a hawk. The hawk killed one baby and the other was injured. I attended and applied medicine on the visible injuries like on its tummy and under the wings where the hawk caught it. But that day, it's one eye seemed was very watery and had a silvery coat on it. I didn't do anything for the eyes because I didn't want to make it worse. Now, 2 days later, what I have trouble understanding is if the baby has gone blind in one eye. It's eyes on both sides look completely different. One eye is a bit droopy but that could be because of trauma, stress and weakness. But for the other side, the upper side of the eye seems swollen and the eye itself seems a little sunken in. The day it was hurt, I couldn't see the pupil at all, only completely black eye with thin silverish coat on it. Now, I can see the pupil but the eye seems kind of looks like an anime(big, wide) a little bit. It's night time right now and the baby is sleeping the balcony with its parents and haven't clicked a picture yet, so I can't attach a picture right now but I'll post a pic of both eyes tomorrow morning. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me what could be the issue with that eye, if baby has gone blind. And if there is a way to know for certain of the baby is blind in one eye. And if it will be all right.
Thanks.
Thanks.
