This post should be in the 'emergencies/diseases' forum so you can get help......
I know little to nothing about quail, but they can get coccidiosis, as can chickens.
Runny, bloody poo is a symptom. The most common treatment is Corid (amprolium), which is available at most feed stores/tractor supply. It comes in both powder form and liquid form and is mixed in the drinking water. You need to start treatment ASAP, the coccidiosis can be fatal quickly. You can also use a sulfa medication that would be available from a vet. I don't honestly know if there is a preferred medication for quail, I use Corid for chickens. Not sure where you are and if that is available to you?

If you can get an appropriate medication you can get help if needed with dosing here.

If your climate has been warm and wet lately, it's possible you're having a coccidia outbreak and your chickens are now suffering from coccidiosis, a parasite in their intestines that eats away the lining and causes blood in the poop. It can cause death. Quail and chickens have different coccidia species that target them, but the treatment is the same for both.

The cure is a vitamin B blocker called amprolium. You can buy it under the label Corid. You'll see two different dosage recommendations, one for prevention and one for intense treatment. You will need to do the second one, mixing it in the chickens water each day fresh for five days. Then repeat again in one week. Don't give vitamins during treatment.
