Did it help thou? Take the time and read it through. Only you can really diagnose your quails problems and know what you have to do to fix it. Like above poster said take off wire for a while and clean up there feet to see what it looks like so you can get an idea if they are just inflamed or have abscesses, etc.

I have brought them inside. Its cool, I can keep track of how clean their cage is better and can keep track of them in general better.

Awesome. Let us know how and when they get better and what you did overall to help them. I'm sure other could use the info.

As of right now, I have them off wire, am putting vaseline on them daily, and keeping their cage cleaned. They seem to be getting a tiny bit better already but not enough of a sign to really say

As I mentioned in my first post, this is going to take a while to heal. You will need to keep this up for several weeks to a month to see the greatest improvement. Since they are on their feet 24/7, they don't heal all that fast. Keep up this program and over time you should be able to get them healed.

My mom looked at their feet and she believes it is gout.. along with scales. The male is less worse, he doesn't have many scales, but were still doing him. Im worried more about my one girl. She is pretty bad and really sore on her feet.

Gout generally only happens in one foot. Not both of them. Goat is very hard feeling in the feet. You can actually move the gout ball in the feet. Are these areas soft or hard?? BUT.....Cherries are excellent for clearing gout out of poultry. Give them several cherries a day. This will definitely help if they do have gout. And if not, it is a nice treat for them.

They wont eat it. Ive tried giving them treats before, fruit, and they leave it. I havent felt the feet as they are sore, I didn't want to disscomfort them anymore.
