few questions, eye infection, and vomiting

hello there, i have just a few questions to ask. After reading all the other questions I have began to worry. the reason i came on here was to research about something recently discovered in my Latino hen ringneck. About a week ago we moved her into a new home shes out in an aviary (which she was in at the other house) and shes been screaming a lot at night (one night saw a cat near by) shes been loosing a lot of feather but also growing new ones back so might just be molting but we noticed on her left eye that the bottom lid is drooping down a lot and looks fairly watery. There is no redness to the eye just droopiness.
The second question a year ago me and my boyfriend bought two blue Indian ringneck babies which we hand reared ourselves. one day me and my bf had a big fight so we had to separate the birds. I had noticed that my bird had became very mopey and clingy to me. he started vomiting every time he tried to eat or drink and it was a lot of vomit, when he layed in bed with me he was lying down with his neck stretched out which was strange behavior for him as he is usually a fairly jittery bird who will only sit on my finger. a few people said he was fretting because of missing the other bird or because i was sad. it's been quite awhile now since this happened but his feathers are much more ruffly then the others. I'm just wondering was this a sign of early illness or just him fretting?
