Thank you so much for replying quickly. That worked pretty well, both eyes are now open to almost their usual extent.

I recently became the temporary owner of a few quail previously kept at my school, due to closure. One of them had been getting really beaten up and his face was badly injured, so I've kept him separate since then (about a month) and he's been healing up well since then. His eyes were a little...

Help please... her wings are all droopy and she's walking almost "heavily", even though she's lost a lot of weight. One of her eyes has a cataract and is almost completely closed up. It might be a little swollen but doesn't look like an infection. She won't eat, I made her drink some apple cider...

Hi all, sorry for being absent, I'm not good at keeping in touch. She was doing really well, regained all her weight, back to normal. She's been getting calcium, she laid a few eggs (still very fragile) which we fed back to her. We've been cooking her white rice mixed with food "scraps" for...

Hi all, sorry for the silence. Cheerio is still doing well. She's regained weight (she's actually maybe a bit heavier than she should be? It's been like that before too. Feeling her keel bone, she's not obese, just a tiny bit heavy to pick up. Might be normal though.) Her crop still seems to be...

Gave her her first dose today, as a full capsule. Took me a while but I managed to get it into her :) She seems to have quite a bit of undigested crumble feed in her droppings this morning, and she has a tiny bit of food still in her crop. I made her crumble wet today, hopefully that'll help...

Got the antibiotics today. Haven't used them yet, because I wanted to check in with you - all day yesterday and today she's been acting totally fine. Eating, drinking, energy back, her old self. Should I still give her a round of antibiotics?

Okay, I've purchased some. Will do what you said. It comes in capsules, right? (I bought the cheapest option, so the least amount, I think.) How would you recommend I give it to her, and how much a day?

Fish Mox? (Just making sure. ) I'll get some. Thank you. It won't hurt her if there's no infection to kill, will it?

Thanks guys. I just gave her some more calcium. I scrambled her an egg but she's not interested at the moment. I don't have any antibiotics to give her, but if you want me to get some, I definitely can, you'd just have to tell me what I need and how much etc.

Happy Easter! She passed a very thin-shelled egg, which is broken. I don't know if it broke before or after it left her body. Here's a photo of the shell. Does it look like the entire thing, or do you think there's still more inside her? The dark spot on the paper is her droppings and the inside...

I've been doing everything, still no change. She's a little worse today, won't eat or drink, just rests. I don't think she's in pain anymore, I haven't noticed any, and she's passed all the grass that was stuck in her crop, so I guess that's good.
