My parrot had breathing issues, eye is closed. What should I do?

Question

Hello! Sorry for my bad English. A week ago my parrot had severe breathing problems (leaning her head towards the back), she was making clicking noise when inhaling and had her right eye closed, all the time. I gave her a daily steam infusion with TeaTree essential oil and within three days the breathing problem disappeared, but the problem with the eye is still present. After some research I decided to give her enrofloxacin in her drinking water. I don't know what else to do, please help me. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | 0.13 lbs

Antibiotic treatment may be the right choice considering that a possible cause of the signs you described might be an upper respiratory tract infection. In addition I would recommend having her checked if the antibiotic treatment is not sorting any effect in 7 days time as another type of infection could be present (Chlamydia for example).
