Help needed

[Mlorenz]

Does she not get an emu feed? Any possibility she may have gotten into moldy feed?

No molded feed. She has been on the same mix for almost a year

Sometimes issues like these, especially if it is diet related, take time to show up and cause problems

Have you checked her legs over for signs of injuries?

She needs to be on a diet of either a ratite feed, which you can order through Mazuri or your local Tractor Supply can likely order it in for you, or you can make her a feed mixture of 50% chicken layer pellets and 50% rabbit feed. If you're in New England you can also find Poulin Grain ratite feed, which is what I use.

I will try to get tsc to order it no one around sells it she does get rabbit pellets but not a lot I was afraid to much would give her the runs

Personally I'd try some Vitamin B Complex, in case it's a B vitamin deficiency that's causing the issue.

You can order it directly from Mazuri if TSC cannot get it in.

I would try to keep her quiet so she doesn't injure herself. Is she drinking?

You're gonna want a B Complex. B12 is only one B vitamin. You can get B Complex for people and use that
