Emu Safety tools: what they help with
These tools help keep a emu out of trouble: toxic food and plant checkers, poison symptom guides and safety checklists for the home or yard. Many poisonings happen with everyday items that owners did not know were dangerous. Checking first takes seconds; treating a poisoned emu can take days.
What to know about safety and toxins for emus
The problems seen most often in emus are leg and hock injuries, impaction from swallowing foreign objects, parasites and heat and cold stress. Over a 10-20 year life, catching these early makes a real difference.
