Help emergency quail wry neck
The way I did it was I would fix about 2 cups of water in total which would last me about 2-3 days depending on how much the bird threw its food into the water. I would do about half of the vial that’s built into the cap of the polyvisol and then probably about a quarter cup of pedialyte mixed... -
Help emergency quail wry neck
Sorry I haven’t been on here in awhile and just saw this. Hopefully it’s still around. Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol Liquid Multivitamin Supplement for Infants and Toddlers, 50 mL dropper bottle https://a.co/d/iZj7WrY There is an Amazon listing for it. I found it a CVS. Walgreens didn’t have it in my area... -
What’s the noise?
I figured that would be the case. Like I said to someone else, I’m gonna try her and her siblings once more in a day or two when I finish up another enclosure I’m building for my other quail that are getting ready to go outside and see if that’ll work. If not I’ll just have to get some other... -
What’s the noise?
I’ve tried three different cages of different styles, after an extremely thorough cleaning to be sure there’s no bird smell left over from either of them. Mostly been trying it at night since that’s I’ve seen recommended the most but since it wasn’t working I tried during day and that didn’t... -
What’s the noise?
She’s healed already. I’ve been trying to reunite her for almost a month with her siblings but they keep attacking her. I’ve followed tons of advice from Nabiki and others on safely putting them together but it’s just not safe for her. I’m trying to find some other hens around her age locally to... -
Help emergency quail wry neck
Just wanna add my two cents from my experience with a quail that had wry neck. Unflavored Pedialyte being added to their water is a god send. Those extra electrolytes can really be a huge help when they’re struggling. Vitamin E is huge as well. I use poly vi sol without iron in her water mixed... -
What’s the noise?
So I have one coturnix hen that I haven’t been able to successfully reunite with its sisters after being attacked by my roo so she’s been living inside. I’ve had her enclosure kept directly next to one where my lone gambel is (it’s partner had to be culled due to a severe dislocated leg) so that... -
Gambel chick with injured leg
It was kept in a small area with food and water within reach right next to the brooder that it and it’s sibling were living in. I checked on it every 12 hours. I wasn’t just sitting there constantly poking at it. I handled it to get it out when I noticed the injury and again when I went to cull... -
Gambel chick with injured leg
That’s good to know. I know it can move, but I didn’t know they could hurt themselves this bad on the floor. I switched the tame ones over to pine chip flooring a week or so ago but didn’t do it for these two since they get so stressed out by being handled and I can change the paper towels a lot... -
Now I have a lone gambel. Could use some advice
I’ll put their enclosures next to each other and leave a camera in there so I can keep an eye on them without freaking out the gambel chick when I’m home. Hopefully that’ll have positive results -
Gambel chick with injured leg
I can when I get home. It’s the same setup I’ve used for other chicks. A large plastic tote with paper towels lining the bottom and the lid cut out with a soft mesh in place for airflow and so they can’t hurt themselves as bad if they jump up. Also has an opening on the side. -
Gambel chick with injured leg
I’ve already put it down. It hadn’t touched a drop of water or food in over 24 hours and after culling, I could feel the leg seemed almost completely pulled out of place. It would have been cruel to keep it like that, especially since there’s no chance I would be able to try and keep its leg in... -
Now I have a lone gambel. Could use some advice
So I made a post yesterday about my gambel chick with a dislocated leg. It didn’t get any better so I had to cull her earlier today. It was hard, but I know she won’t suffer anymore. The issue is that it now leaves her sibling alone. I have two other gambels from that hatch but no matter what... -
Gambel chick with injured leg
Unfortunately with the area I live in, vets are ridiculously expensive and my dog is eating up the budget for vet trips. I’ll keep an eye on her today and make the call in the morning if it’s just as bad or has gotten worse if culling is the right move. -
Gambel chick with injured leg
(Cross posted to the injuries section as well) So I’ve been raising my four gambel chicks and they’re all just over 2 months and now. Two of them are attached at the hip to me and two are scared to death of me. I just did a check up on all of them yesterday and they were all looking happy and...
