I didn't sorry. It was really hard for me to even bring myself to cut her open. I wasnt really thinking about taking pictures but my dad snapped this shot luckily. Other than the infection liquid I didnt see anything that looked suspicious.
Do you believe the e.coli was just present in the...
Hello
Lately we have had extreme tropical weather. Huge down pours followed by heat waves. She passed away on one of these hot nights. She went to the coop early and in the morning I found her passed away in the spot she went to bed in. I thought it was heat stress until I felt her belly. A...
Hi guys

Ive been perscribed antibiotics from a vet for a sick quail. Its fixed my bird right up but it cost me a bloody fortune and i was even angrier when i found out it was stuff i can buy from the pet shop (Vetafarm triple c)
Ingredients: Chlortetracycline Hydrochloride 100mg/g

I got it shortly after she layed since it was still warm. Shes got a brand new box and hospital area in doors so no chance of usual poultry parasites externally. Others are saying it is infact calcium so now i can stop being anxious 😆

Hi everyone
I found one of my male quails with a broken beak. Its completely clean with no blood but its broken right back to just where the flesh starts. His new beak tip is the flesh bulb thingy (ill get pictures soon). Will the beak grow still if it was just the keratin part that has broken...
Thank you so much for the reply.
I did manage to find an exotic vet willing to take her in early.
Shes got a sinus infection and is on broad spectrum anitibiotics until the pathology comes back.
But we dont know if the head dunking was the cause or not 🤔
Hi everyone
I have a sick quail and have to wait to see the vet and wanting to know how to help her in the meantime.
This quail has gotten herself sick by repeatedly dunking her whole head in water when she goes for a drink. I didnt know she was doing this until i saw that her white feathers...
