The vet took xrays and her leg bone is out of her hip socket. She is getting painkillers for a couple of days and after that the vet will check if she can place it back. Does anyone have any experience with this? I feel so bad that she will have pain all the time if we cannot fix it. 😢

Thank you for taking the time. What would you suggest I add to the food? I thought these two would complement each other and be enough for their well being. Also, I tried to take a better picture of the bump but I'm not sure it worked.

I'm not feeding her garlic. I gave a bit mixed with veggies because it helps chicken deworm so I thought it would help with quails too. (And google didn't warn me that it was poisonous :/) I'm feeding them specific quail food. (This: https://www.wachtel-shop.com/Wachtelgold-Bio-Wachtelfutter and...

Hi everyone. After many heartbreaking stories due to quail diseases I couldn't find any remedies for, I had decided not to be involved with my family's quails. (And then they pulled me back in!). One of the quails that we have over a year and is blind (I have no idea why) was a bit lethargic and...

Hello there. When I went to see the vet the second time I mentioned this but poultry diseases aren't very well known by 'normal' vets I guess. Or even by all avian vets, I'm afraid. The vet at the avian clinic where she passed away told me that I could bury her in my backyard and I had to oppose...

Thank you. I really, truly hope your thread will have a happy ending and your quail will be running around happily in no time. I'm kind of frustrated that 'poultry' birds don't get the attention they need from the medical world and culling or accepting that they will die due to a bacteria or a...

Thank you. Very sweet of you. 💚 I just wish I could have done more.

My quail passed away today in an avian vet clinic. They wanted to take a puncture so she had to get some sort of an anaestesia which she didn't survive. Even though I saw her situation getting worse the last two days I'm still devastated. Not only because I couldn't save her but also because I...

Does anyone know what's the dosage of Doxycycline for a quail? (Novadox 10mg/ml to be precise.)

I've ordered it right after I discovered that this sick girl also had some weird lice. I didn't think that permethrin spray would help right away and didn't want to use it for a long periode of time so diamotaceous earth seemed like a good, natural alternative. :/ Thankfully the spray helped...

The herb is special mix for quail (checked the ingredients: turmeric, goji, spirulina, oregano, ginger etc. It sounds like a power powder :)) Thanks for the warning about the diatomaceous earth. I just ordered it for their dust bath, so I will make sure they don't get it into their bellies!

Hello! I checked the label for the nutrition information but unfortunately there isn't any, so I took a picture of the food instead. It might give an idea. :) There is a good avian vet I know but he is 50 minutes drive away and I don't know if I should put her through travel stress. I am...

Thank you for the tip. At the moment (also due to all those disease stories I have been reading the last couple of days) I'm trying to be careful with possible extra bacteria/virus risks. Messy, I wouldn't really mind. :)

Raw? I always thought it would be risky to give it raw so I have been giving after cooking. I just bought this and have been mixing it with egg and carrots: https://www.wachtel-shop.com/WachtelGold-Immun-Complete (I hope the website auto translates :))

I have indeed read about those illnesses as well and also mentioned it to the vet the second time I went there. The problem is that they aren't familiar with all avian illlnesses, and also cannot say what it exactly is without taking a sample I guess. :( Thank you for replying. Wishing your...
