My quail is sick,help please

[pringle]

Yeah the problem was, was that before the flopping she lost alot of weight and was a little bit puffed up and didnt move much so I just knew she was gonna die and her breathing got all labored and stuff it was pretty bad.

Pringle, where were they housed. I lost a Manchurian yesterday to a wasp. It stung it multiple times and the poor bird seized

It is terrible to lose a bird especially witnessing it. I am so sorry!!!!

I agree with Rozzie, take proper caution with the new chicks and the remaining adults. They may be carrying something we do not know of

And praying for a new Brownie Jr!!!!

It could have been a resperatory disease.

They were housed in my basement with a wire floor.They had about 1 sq ft of space per bird and all of them seemed so happy.The remaining 4 seem like there doing great they are playing around in the sand and everything.

Robo,it might have been becouse she seemed to be gasping for air and breathing really heavy near the last 5 minutes or so,but wouldent that have showed up longer before that?

She could have gotten it from the other birds. Are chickens anywhere near them?

 

[pringle]

I do have chickens but all of them live outside and I usually am unable to pick them up becouse there not that tame.

Could the others been not letting her eat or drink causing her to starve out?

 

[pringle]

No nothing like that in fact she was the biggest out of all of them and imediatly showed her authority by pecking all of them.Ive seen her drinking and eating during the past couple weeks.The only times she might of gone hungry was when she had her back turned to the perverted male while eating and you know the rest.

If you can order some sulmet and give it to the others it will rid any bacteria toxin they may have. When I encounter someone not doing well, EVERYONE gets some sulmet in their water, it's a great preventative and not harmful.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
