[Machi]

Did you find out the cause? How did you treat it?

Hi I'm desperately in need of some help. One Sunday my dog managed to flip my avory over letting my quail loose. We found them today unfortunately 2 died one male seems fine one is moving his head to let left when he eats. Another is all puffed up but my only girl left is really sick all puffed up eyes closed wobbly when trying to walk refusing water or food do sent put up a fight when handled. Right now she is on my chest under a blanket as the boys won't huddle with her not sure what to do

Refusing food and water sounds bad. I guess what you are doing is about the best you can do for her. Put her near a heat source when you can't be with her. Perhaps try to get some water in her with a syringe or by dipping her beak in it.. But might be stressful for her, and that is probably not what she needs.
Why do you think they have become sick? No food, no water, cold weather, wet surroundings or ..?

I think it was cold and no food or water. The younger two died in sat with her for about 3 hours and suddenly she started chirruping and moving when I went to check her she shot off lol still a bit wobbly but I've put her with the boys she is huddling with her man

got heaterror on them and food water they inside seem to be doing better but still puffed up and one male still seems to be struggling to eat
