Injured quail leg

[Ethan Smith]

My quail has injured his leg. He is a full grown Japanese Quail. This morning on the 25th of April 2021. I went outside to my quails run to see them. And I noticed the male was limping. At 15:00 I noticed that he wasn’t moving a lot and when he stood up he stood on one leg. He has also been limping a lot. And I don’t know if he has sprained his right foot or if it’s broken.

Can you give him a more thorough inspection and some clear pictures of his foot/leg?

When mine broke his leg he was caught up on somthing so his break spot had blood, i knew it was more then a scrape when i tried to put pressure to stop the blood and it felt like somthing cracked or crackled/pop in place u can look for a swollen spot

How is he doing today? That foot does look a bit swollen. I would put him in a hospital pen for a while (make sure he's clean and warm) and see how he does. If a vet is an option, you might consider it since I can't tell if anything is broken. He might heal on his own.

I felt around the leg. It didn’t feel like a break. However there was inflammation on the upper part of his leg. I checked him for bumblefoot. As there was a piece of grit at the bottom of his foot. I held his right foot foot in some warm water and Epsom salt and the gunk fell off his foot. No cuts on the pads of his feet. I think he may have a sprain in his leg. But he isn’t moving it and doesn’t walk on it.

Is he eating and drinking? Does his poop look normal? If those things are good, he will likely recover. If he's not eating or drinking, there's a problem.

He'll probably be okay then as long as he has some time to recover.

How is he doing today?
