My parakeet has a small eye, neck hole, and is sleepy. Is she sick?

Question

Hi I just wanted to ask a quick question about my parakeet for the past few days I've noticed my budgie has a smaller eye than the other one, a hole in her neck and she's been sleeping alot she is paired in with another female in the same cage, if you can please help me figure out this situation I am having weather I should be concerned about her or not I would gladly appreciate it thanks.

Thanks for reaching out about Blueberry. That one eye is smaller and a hole in the neck, means she needs to see a veterinarian. A smaller eye could be a ruptured cornea. Or is the other eye larger? That could be an infection. Her being sleepy is an indication that she is weak and can not hide her illness. If is highly recommended you see a veterinarian sooner than later. Providing supplemental heat in the 80-85 degree range might provide some comfort but is not a treatment. Good luck.
