Emu chick suddenly developed weepy eye

[nzookie]

Hi there, during the course of the day one of my boy's eye started to discharge something, and the eyelid looks a bit droopier on that side. I tried wiping it away but it seems like it's crusted up. He's grazing and eating normally.

Has anyone seen this before?

Looks like its cleared itself up over the last two days, got a good look at it between morning zoomies

Awesome to hear!

If such a thing happens again, I would pick up some Terramycin to use in the eye. Probably he just poked it on something. The Terramycin helps make sure no infections set in, or clears up an existing infection
