Cat attacked young jap quail...

[Shu]

So, somehow one of my cats got to my young quails, and has attacked one of them...

The quail has heaps of surface wounds, and one or two deep ones. And it seems lively enough, but I don’t know of anything that would maybe help it or dull the pain a little.

And a question, can quails live with no legs, or half legs with prosthetics maybe? One of the deeper wounds are right where the spine and pelvis meet, and it doesn’t seem like it can feel it’s legs... but it’s been a few hours since it was attacked so.... Don’t know whether or not it’s legs’ll come good...

But I will have more answers like if it can feel it’s legs in the morning... Well, my morning. Is there anything I can feed it to make it more comfortable?

Thanks...

Pictures? A quail can not live without legs. I wouldn't worry about that just yet though. Focus on treating the wounds. Have you put anything on the wounds? Vetrycin is great to put on wounds if you have it.

I have put an antiseptic on it, but most of them aren’t deep at all, and barley bled. I will take some pictures now...

Antiseptic is good just make sure you don't give her anything with paint killers in it.

I haven’t given it any pain killers at all.

Other than telling you to give it medicine I'm not sure what else to do so I'll tag @Nabiki

Make sure to keep it warm and clean. Antibacterial wash is a good idea if you have any. As long as it's eating and drinking, it should heal. Keep an eye on it and watch the wounds for swelling. That would be a sign of infection.

Poor thing. Luckily, chicks have a very string will to survive. Hopefully the little cutie will make it

Unfortunately, the quail passed away during the night. I tried everything I could...

I would have updated this page earlier, but I am quite distraught and upset right now with everything going on in my life... And the quail dying didn’t help.

Thank you all for the help, thank you so much.
