Does anyone know what's the dosage of Doxycycline for a quail? (Novadox 10mg/ml to be precise.)
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 keep blaming myself for not trusting the dosage of the first vet and giving her half the dosage (2x 0,25ml). I don't know if she had a bacteria or a virus and I'm aware that antibiotics wouldn't have saved her if she had a virus, but still I have a hard time accepting this. The doctor said that she saw weird, yellow bumps(?) inside her mouth/beak and that I should check the other quails and chickens for any sign.
I am thinking of asking the vet to do a necropsy.
A sad detail: I got her exactly a year ago tomorrow.
I'm sorry if you were searching the internet for information for your sick quail (like I did) and came across this thread with a sad ending. I wish your animals well. I hope any illness or issue they get has a remedy.
