Emu help

[1carolina]

My 3 month old emu can't straighten his neck and looks like he has something lodged in his throat. He's running around as usual, eating and drinking. Any ideas what this could be? If its something lodged in there how do I get I out?

Emus can get wry neck. I believe the treatment for it is a balanced emu diet, vitamin E and selenium. I, unfortunately, don’t know the exact amount of vitamin E and selenium to give. If that’s the issue of course.

If it’s something lodged, we would need to see a photo to see if this is something a vet would need to take care of.

Hope the little one ends up ok!
