Hello,
I have a two week old emu chick that has a foamy eye and I’m pretty sure an open wound. The other one seems to have a foamy eye also. I am worried that it is MG or MS. I am a ex poultry inspector and I am worried that I possibly brought it home to them. I have worked with the disease before but I try my best to be careful. Below is a picture. Is this Mycoplasma or could it be anything else?.

Thanks!

Hey, Chickentumble. The blunt truth is that this forum is no longer frequented by the numbers of talented pet-emu owners that it used to be. Wait a couple of days. Maybe someone will turn up.

Keep us posted.

And yes: being able to do nothing, not having a competent avian vet within a thousand miles, is an awful thing.
