Thank you for your reply. We also see that this is a difficult case. He is now 2 weeks old, we didnt know what to do for the first 3-4 days so it's been about 10 days since we started getting him upright. He definitely has strength and range of motion on legs but doesn't know how to balance. Or...
Hello all,
We posted about this baby quail who had issues getting out of the egg & cannot stand. Most people would have put it down but we really couldn't...and thanks to folks who suggested tube and cup therapy, we are doing all of those. And this guy is responding very well so far. He (or...
