Don't give up on your sick animal :)

:0 oh my gosh i think ur right thank you so much! I've always wondered what happened to the poor girl. it's been maybe a month or two since she died- do you think that the chickens/quails are fine? Also on the joint, it wasn't exactly swelling- basically looks like a mound of dried blood that's the size of her head. then that pried off on it's own and it left a vile looking hole on her foot and she bled uncontrollably, flapping in pain. i felt so bad for her, and the sight sickened me. what do you think that mound is? but MS was spot on for her foot- i looked at images and her foot looks exactly like that. so basically two questions- do i still have to administer Tylan (quail had died maybe a month or two ago) and what is the lump? the one i described as the dried blood.


p.s. someone suggested it could be a hematoma idk though didnt seem like it

p.p.s holy cow you look like a pro wow all those badges n stuff god job!

I'm neither a 'pro' or an 'expert', just someone who has been raising all manner of birds for 50+ years.

Without pics, it's hard to diagnose what the issue was? but the description resembles a hematoma...possibly like a 'blood blister', idk?
Yes, I would still administer Tylan to the rest of the birds....as chickens can be carriers of it too and not show any symptoms of the disease.

I had bought quails, and there was disaster after disaster. One quail had an enormous hematoma on her foot, bigger than her head. We didn't realize it until we got home. her foot was swollen too. She couldn't walk from the pain. The hematoma ripped off on its own. She was flapping around, blood everywhere. Poor baby bled to death . Then we left to buy food. a baby was nearly crushed to death. nursed her back to health. Few weeks later she died because she was crushed again. SHe was the runt though- never grew at all, strangely, even after weeks. Something fishy about our seller :/. thEn, a quail was paralyzed and couldn't move her legs or chirp. I was asking for so much advice, but everybody said to cull her . Even I began to think about culling her. But my family did what it took. We built her a little box to help her stand. Never thought it would work. I was right. Didn't really do anything. Then, my sister had this random idea to give the quail electrolyte water. I never thought it would work. I was wrong. Within a day and a half, she was completely normal!!! I have no idea how it happened! She had water and food right in front of her the whole time she was with us. Plus, it seemed like brain damage; missing feathers on her head suggested she bonked her head at the top of her temporary net cage. and everybody was sitting on top of her. I never thought it would work. She couldn't even talk!! But after that water, she was completely healthy. walking, talking, and doing the things that quails should do It was a miracle. Never give up on your sick animals. Maybe the answer is right under your nose

What do you think happened? Why do you think she got better? I'd really like to know, tell me your thoughts!

I’ve found it is true in life, every little bit of love and support can go a LONG way for survival. It’s not always true something can be saved by trying, but yes, a little effort can pay off. It’s worth the experience to try. Hope and faith and love.
