Coturnix Quail foot BROKEN OFF - ADVICE NEEDED

[NinjaGamer2022]

Here are some pictures I took of Friend tonight:

She is still eating normal and very active. She hops around quite a bit. I am changing her litter daily and have been spraying her with Vetericyn.

Her wound/knee is very swollen and has a bit of green discoloration which is very much concerning ...
Thank you all for your time, Good night,

Thank you all for your time, Good night,

Since the bone’s exposed, you have to keep it very clean. Giving her epsom salt soaks may help with pain, swelling, and to clean it. But, she really needs to have that bone trimmed and skin sewn together over it. Then you will see that a callus will likely form, making the stump a little less irritated over time. Still concerned that’s an entry point for bacteria and infection of the bone. I’m glad to know that Friend is doing well.

Hello everyone, sorry once again for the late update, things have been super busy and crazy for me lately, with a heat wave and water problems, etc.

Friend seems to be still doing well. She is acting and eating normal!
I still have her in my room and give her daily litter changes.
I put another quail in the cage with her, her name is Snowflake, she is pretty laid back. She is 1.5 years old with poor eyesight, so she is safe to keep with Friend.
Friend has been much happier since I moved Snowflake with her.
Friend's wound swelling has went significantly down, but the swelling is a much darker color ... I don't know if that's good or bad.
She is moving around surprisingly well despite not having half of her other leg.
I plan to post pictures from her tomorrow.

Once again, thank you all for your help and advice, I will continue to update. Good night and happy Sunday.

URGENT:

I noticed Friend had some food stuck to her wound (some water had spilt in her cage), so I soaked her wound in Epsom salt water for 10 mins to help clean her wound and to help reduce swelling.
After the soak I gently cleaned away at her wound, she got startled and kicked, and a burst of blood came out of the swelling.
I ran and wiped up the blood, no more blood came out and still hasn't.
Then my sister helped me take these photos attached to this (the blood on my hand is from her).
I think the swelling that hasn't went down is mostly blood.
After we took these photos I gave her cage new litter, food, and water.
She has eaten food and hopped around since, but her feathers are super puffed out and she looks upset.
Right before I soaked her she was very happy and did not have ruffled feathers.
This has all took place within the last 20 mins.
Any help and advice is greatly needed, I am afraid I did something terribly wrong. What should I do? Thank you all for your time, I am sorry for this drama.

Good morning everyone, I have finished my other chicken and quail morning chores and am quickly eating breakfast.
I am happy to say Friend is acting normal once again today!
She is standing tall (on one leg) and hopping around. I will take a better look at her leg later, I sadly have to do some homework first.

Seems the advice about the still exposed bone is good. It is a port of entry for bacteria. I would have a vet do the difficult work of a percise amputation and stitching if you can find one to do it.
The swelling may be tissues granulizing, hematomas forming, or infection attacking the area.. but either way with an exposed bone there is very little chance of dodging a bullet.
After the blood explosion I would take it under heavy consideration.

I'm so sorry everyone, I just realized I haven't updated in 2 weeks (this is pathetic on my part). I have been SUPER busy with school and other stuff in my life.
Friend is still alive and seems to be doing well! She still has a lump on her knee, but it seems to have gone down a bit since I updated last.
She is getting along great with Snowflake.
I hope you all have a great Sunday, good night and God bless.
