Help, my quail broke her wing!

[Qquails899]

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!

You can wrap her wing in a normal position to her body to help support it. She may be stunned or have a head or other internal injury. Just let her rest for a bit, hold off on wrapping the wing until she is out of shock. Offer some sips of water when she is alert. I don’t know much about quail, just chickens, but hopefully, she will be okay.

Thank you soooo much! She is eating and drinking, just not moving around as usual. She is in a lot of pain.

I don't know much about quails but if she was mine I would give her calpol syrup at 15 to 20mg per kilo body weight 6 hourly +/- ibuprofen syrup 10mg/kg 3 times daily and put a small plastic rod and wrap it with a tape along her wing, give her crushed and microwaved egg shells or fine oyster shell with high protein feed

I have to give her less calcium because it's been bad for her lately. Thank you so much!

I attempted to wrap her up in a towel but it wasn't the best idea. She escaped and I don't want to hurt her but her wing is surely broken.

Hopefully, she will feel better a little later. Here is an article about wrapping a broken wing:

No I wasn't able to do that. I think I only made it worse. What if I just leave her like this? Will it hurt for the rest of her life?

She may be fine, although her wing may hang down. But that shouldn’t affect her quality of life.

It's not hanging down, it looks like it's pushed up.
