I know. This is quite a silly question. I’m just wondering if I can touch my quail while I have a fever, because I don’t want them to get sick. Thank you in advance :)
Hello everyone
A while ago I posted about my quail who started limping in september, a few weeks after her toenail broke off. I think it’s getting worse and the leg that she uses for getting around started swelling up. She probably also had scaly mites so the vet gave her a drop of Ivermectin. I...
Hello all
I’ve had this coturnix quail for about a year now, and she’s been having problems. She started constantly panting a month after I bought her, we’ve been to the vet but the medicine he gave didn’t help. She also has difficulties swallowing…I’d attach a video of that if I knew how to :/...
Hello all, I have an almost 3 year old coturnix quail and a young one (about a year old).
Yesterday my old bird looked like she was struggling with something, almost as if she was trying to lay an egg. She stopped laying at the age of 2. Today I found this thing in the cage, I have no idea what...
I keep quails as pets, I've only had 2 birds so far and they were 2 years old. One passed away this August, leaving the other one lonely. I tried to get an old friend for her, but I couldn't find anyone who sells their older birds so I got one that's about 2 months old. I'm afraid they won't get...
I was feeding my quail from my hand and she started bobbing her head, she usually does this but it stops after a few seconds. Now shes been doing it for more than 10 minutes, and her throat is full of foam!!! She doesnt drink so I forced her to drink, but she spat it out. What should I do...
Today I found out that one of my quails is egg bound. Her vent was prolapsed, but I could fix that. I put her in warm water for 15 minutes and now she's been in a dark place for 2 and a half hours. I gave her some ground egg shells. Still no egg. She's constantly shaking. I will bring her to a...
Today when I got home, I took a look at my quails and found out that one of them has swollen eyes. I immediately took her to the local vet but the problem is that he is known for misdiagnosing animals. He said it is an allergy and gave her some kind of injection. I hope he was right, can someone...
Today I realized that something is wrong with one of my quails. Her droppings were quite unusual. Very watery with urates and foam. She also poops more often, like every 4 or 5 minutes. She has a problem since January, she started drinking excessive amounts of water and I think it was because of...
Today when I picked up one of my quails I saw that one of her feet is swollen. I soaked her feet in warm water and I took the photo afterwards. I've already seen bumblefoot on a chicken but I have no idea what to do. Is this even bumblefoot? What should I do?
My coturnix quail flew out of the cage and I found her on the floor all fluffed up, gasping and with a broken wing. I think she is in a shock so I put her back into the cage and put a hot water bottle next to her. What else should I do? Please help!
I have two female coturnix quails. They were good friends and they were always next to each other until yesterday. One of them started to act really weird, she suddenly attacked the other one and now she's screaming at her as well. She is also losing feathers and panting all the time, which is...
My quail is drinking a crazy amount of water and eating less. She's been doing this for a long time but now I see that water is coming out of her beak more often. She shakes her head before that. What can I do to stop this?
One of my quails was being very active lately, but today when I came home, I realized that she's just standing in the cage and not moving around as usual. When I took them out of the cage, I expected her to walk around the room just like she used to, but instead she was still just standing. She...
I just dewormed my quails and now one of them is acting very weird. She is more active than before, but she drinks a lot of water and her droppings are very watery. I also saw water coming out of her beak a few times. She has been like this for like 5 days and I don't know what to do. Please help!
One of my quails laid a thin shelled egg about 15 days ago and she hasn't laid since. The other one is screaming every time it lays an egg, and tonight the one who stopped laying screamed two times the same way but there is no egg. What should I do?
I got my first quails about two weeks ago, two female coturnix quails. They were seven or eight weeks old at the time. When they arrived, they were not eating enough, standing with ruffled feathers and eyes closed almost all day. I thought it was because of the recent change of home. They became...
