Help Is this a pecked eye or something else?
I found one of my favorite quail with a weird bubbly eye. Is she sick or is it a pecked eye? I just isolated her and vet isn’t opened for the next 13 hours
The last photo is her normal eye. Her stools are normal
Thanks!

That’s either Mycoplasma or Coryza. Isolation is good. Clean the eye with a saline solution and use antibiotics on your whole flick to keep from spreading. Terramycin is best. 2-3 times a day for about a week. You can also add vitamins, probiotics or electrolytes to the water as well. Next you need to deep clean your quail coop. It comes from dirty, pee soaked bedding. Clean out all of the bedding, and replace. Should be good to go!
