If you still have Mia, I would recommend sending her to a state necropsy lab. That way you'll know what you're dealing with. They're not too expensive.

Thanks for responding.. when I lost Mia (kept her alive nearly 2 weeks) but I lost her Sunday night and buried her early Monday morning.. but Mia was the one I thought was having a severe allergic reaction to the shavings.. this is Freya and she's itching the 1 eye pretty bad ,she's quite "mean" and always tries to peck my hand when I try to do a saline rinse + Neosporin, and she has 3 tiny tiny little bubbles in that same eye.. I'm constantly out with my birds cleaning poop out of their food/water and making sure they all have 2 eyes,etc and she started these symptoms..I immediately pulled her from my flock.. do you think this might be a problem with the breeder..he had every single type of bird you can think of..every shape,size,color,all kept together on a giant farm.. peacocks,ducks,chicken my God millions of chickens,turkeys, parrots,budgies, cockatiel,I could keep going..each type of bird literally was its own breed,shape,color..this is my first time ever dealing with birds on ANY kind and was unaware of all the disease /issues they can have..

It looks like infectious corzya to me.

I think what we're looking at is MG...mycoplasma galliseptium, there are many different strains of avian mycoplasma and vary in virulence. You can also be dealing with secondary infections as well.
Morbidity is high but mortality is low. Once they become infectious and if they recover, they will be carriers for life.

It's not Infectious Coryza, that is an acute respiratory infection of chickens.

Treatment consists of several medications/antibiotics, including chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, erythromycin, spectinomycin, tiamulin, tylosin and enrofloxacin. The antibiotics may lessen the symptoms but do not eliminate the infection. Most of these antibiotics are by a script from a veterinarian.
The best prevention is a strict biosecurity and sanitation regime.

I would follow the advice above.

Thank you for responding.. isn't that coryza deadly though?? And would you happen to know how to treat it in a safe way??

Oh my gosh,that's the same advice I was given for poor Mia..

Yes, I got it from that thread. @007Sean has a lot of experience and usually gives good advice.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum or MG is a common chronic respiratory disease that can affect quail and other poultry. Symptoms can include bubbles or foam in an eye, swollen eyelids, sticky nasal drainage, sneezing, and others. It is contagious by direct contact, in water, and can be transmitted to chicks through a hatching egg. Treatments include Tylosin, and a few other antibiotics. The disease cannot be cured, although symptoms may go away, and the whole flock should be considered carriers.
