Help emergency quail wry neck

[007Sean]

Based on your other post about the watery green poop, I am concerned about disease, especially virulent newcastle disease. I'm tagging someone who knows a lot more about diseases and such than I do.

@007Sean am I being paranoid? What do you think?

Nah, your not paranoid! but I don't think it's a disease, looks more like it has 'hit' it's head against something? That's not wry neck, either!

You mind telling me what I could do about it would be really helpful since I’m lost and don’t know how to treat it

There's not really anything you can do about head trauma. Keep it in a dim, quite, enclosure.
Most of the time they recover from 'bonking' their head....if it doesn't break their neck from the impact.

What if it’s not eating or drinking because it can’t

If it's still not eating or drinking, then it's not likely to make it, so I would cull. I'm sorry.

I’m hand feeding it and it drinking by me holding a cap of water. Right before this happen I was going to ask for help on the same quail about it’s vision because when I give treats the quail run toward my hand and start pecking the food but when this one come it peck at the air near my hand like if it needed glasses it will take few second till it starts eating from my hand

You can hand feed for a day or two, but if there isn't any improvement, it doesn't have a good chance.

Update: It no longer has its head upside down it can now eat on its own At first I had to crumble it even smaller and hand feed near its beak now it can eat from my hand when I put my hand down to the floor but it can’t walk tho it like one side work the other side doesn’t because when it’s stand up it always lean to the left and fall to the floor

That's improvement. Now that it can eat and drink on its own you can give it a few more days to see how it's doing. Quail heal pretty quickly if they're going to heal.

You may have a bird with multiple genetic and/or hatching defects. Right now, it's a neurological issue, all of the symptoms can be caused by a severe hit to the head, or vitamin/mineral deficiencies of the parent stock. Time will tell whether to let it be or to cull....I certainly would not want to breed it.

I am just going to let it be and hope it recover I am not trying to breed it. It was not the reason I got them in the first place and I only have 3 quail bought them as company not to breed or eat. Question should I buy vitamin to help it or do I just let be just trying to figure what more I could do to help it.
