From Carole:
If the cataract doesn't clear completely you may consider the following: Homoeopathic Calc. fluor. has a reputation for clearing cataracts (or you could use the tissue salt Calc. fluor. 6x instead). Calc. fluor. is useful for any situation where there is hardening of tissues, breakdown of tissue,
or unnatural bony growth (arthritis, bone spurs, etc.). It could be given in the water (therefore no trauma) and would need to be given over a long period - remembering to reduce the FREQUENCY of dosing as the condition improves.
Perhaps your bird's better overall nutrition (Vits A, D, E would be especially important I think) is the real answer. Keep doing more of the same!
