Bobwhite quail choking?

DEWORM THEM... ANTIBIOTICS WILL NOT HELP IN ANY WAY

I WOULD RECOMEND THE SAFE GUARD IN THE FOOD THING.... ITS FASTER AND EFFECT FOR GAPE WORMS AND ALMOST EVERY FEED STORE I HAVE EVER SEEN HAS IT IN STOCK 24/7... SINCE THE BIRD IS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS I WOULDNT RECOMEND ANYTHING THATS GOING TO TAKE LONGER THAN NECESSARY TO GET IN HAND AND USE

Wazine only kills round worms and nodular worms in the intestines. It will not touch gapeworms or any other worms in the quail's system. So go for the Safeguard. It WILL take care of the gape worms. Good luck!

I already ordered wazine but if you guys recommend safe guard I'll try that. I only see Safe guard thats for goats is this kind fine for quails?

Thanks!

Is it possible that maybe the quail just has digestion problems when she eats. I even noticed her droppings were whitish. I'm going to be prepared with the Wormer just in case.

 

[TwoCrows]

If she does in fact have gapeworms, than she probably is loaded with other worms. So her entire system is probably compromised and not working well. Has she ever been wormed before? She could probably use a good worming. Worming should be done at least once a year to keep the worms at bay. Too many worms can and will kill your birds.

I researched today a little on worming quails, and some people actually use DE to treat internal parasites and worms. I have heard of using it external but didn't know it could be given to the birds to eat. Has anyone tried this on quails?

 

[TwoCrows]

DE is great to spread around the coops, bedding and in dusting pans. The DE will cut the exoskeletal system of the mites and kill them, as DE is microscopically sharp. Some people say that ingesting this same DE will do the same to the internal bugs, but I would think that after DE gets wet, it looses its ability to do the same as the dry stuff. This is only my opinion however.

BUT this being said, it can't hurt to sprinkle it on the feed once in a while. Make sure to purchase food grade DE.
