Quail attacked by a predator hurt bad

[Cooperthedog]

Hi, my silver Coturnix quail got attacked by a predator and I was wondering if I should do anything else. What I have done so far is looked her over for injuries and used a wet paper towel to clean off the wound a little then sprayed with wound wash then I put Neosporin on the wounds. Would I want to wrap any wounds with gauze or leave them open and would I need to use a heat lamp to keep her warm? Thanks in advance for the help.

Sounds like you are doing good right now.
Make sure to keep her in a nice quiet area to help lower stress.
Is she eating and drinking fine? Can you get photos of the wounds?

I saw her eat a little when I came home so I assume she is drinking and I will take some pictures now and post them soon.

Where is the wound ? Did it bleed alot ? If you have any other quail separate it from them , other quail will peck at the wound and widen it, quails are cannibalistic

Sometimes my quails get injured and the other ones peck at it , I have to separate them or they will die

I have separated the quail and here are the pictures.

Ok that's a little worse than I imagined, but there's still hope , maybe put antibiotic ointment on it, please keep updating hope it makes it

Poor girly, hopefully she gets better soon. Just keep her cleaned up, neosporin on the wounds, and make sure shes eating and drinking. If it could help, you could try plucking/trimming the feathers around the wound. Is there hanging skin around her neck/chest area? I cant tell.

 

[Cooperthedog]

There is no hanging skin and I did spray wound wash on her then put on some Neosporin in all the wounds and I will update when I have time. would some antibiotics help at all or should I keep putting the Neosporin on and if so how often?

Sounds like you've been doing a pretty good job, not sure about the Neosporin but maybe once or twice a day
