Is it mislabeled as coryza in quail because it looks the same? I don't own quail but have wild ones locally so I look up what they could potentially infect my chickens with and that was listed. Sorry for posting bad info.Does the face have a bad odor? Have you added any new birds or seen any respiratory disease in other fowl? Coryza is actually a disease of chickens, but quail can get a similar sinus infection from a different bacteria. MG or mycoplasma can look a little similar. You should get some antibiotics to treat, or cull your quail and get a necropsy to find out the exact disease. If there is a bad odor, sulfadimethoxine or Smz-tmp might be better. For MG, Tylosin and a few others cannbe used. Both diseases are chronic, for life, and make the rest carriers for life. Pus cannbe cleaned from eye with warm wet compresses, and gentle pressing around eyelid, and QTips to clean. Saline eye wash can flush the eye, and Terramycin eye ointment can be used in the eye twice a day.

Thank you all SO much! No bad odor, and no new birds for over a year—just one small backyard flock. I’ll try the Tylosin and warm compresses.Is it mislabeled as coryza in quail because it looks the same?

Thank you so much for replying!Testing would need to be done to confirm anything. You really didn’t post bad info. The vet links I read said that there can be a similar disease to coryza in quail, but it is a different bacterium. I am certainly not an expert of coryza or MG. Here is where I read that:
