Blue Tit Advice Please? (1 Viewer)

I'm not sure whether I'm posting this in the correct place but I have a very poorly blue tit in the garden, getting slowly worse each day. Still eating but difficulty breathing, lethargic, very sore eyes affecting it's vision. Is there anything I can give it to help? I can pretty much hand feed it. Also, are the other blue tits I have at risk of catching whatever it has? Thank you

Welcome to Birdforum.

I am not sure that there is anything you can do. Is there a wildlife centre near you which you could contact?
 
I have contacted them but no suggestions unfortunately other than capturing it and taking it to the vets but they are likely to put it to sleep. At the moment it's still following the other blue tits around and feeding so unless it stops feeding I'm not sure I should intervene in that way. I'll keep the food supply topped up and see what happens. Thank you for your reply.
