Hi, My fattest coturnix hen has large swellings under her feet and one of her foot's swelling is dripping blood. My 4 other quails doesn't seem to have that problem. They have ½-½" hardware cloth on two thirds of their enclosure and hard floor with pine shavings on one thirds of their enclosure. I have noticed that she is the one that always preferred to stay on the floored section with the pine shavings. I had them for a week now and before that, their previous owner didn't use hardware cloth floor. I didn't notice any blood the day before and I am very afraid that the bleeding foot will get infected. I have put in a piece of anti-slip plastic sheet on top of the hardware cloth section so her feet can be less irritated from the wired floor. I don't know if it's the hardware cloth that caused the bleeding in the first place. What should I do to treat the bleeding foot?
 
this is her feet at different angles.

Do you think she stepped on anything sharp, like glass, a nail, etc? You might want to keep her inside on clean bedding with food and water so the wound doesn't get infected. If it gets bad, you might want to take her to the vet.

Okay I have her in a separate flat bottom cage with clean pine shavings, food, water. Does the feet look bad enough that I should clean it or do anything to it? Thanks

The cage floor only has pine shavings and hardware cloth, so I don't think she stepped on anything. Maybe it was the hardware cloth that irritated her feet.
