Quail feeling under the weather!! :(

That's not a parasite, but an infection. The medicine you are giving should help with the infection.

Okay thank you. Really really hope she gets better. Hate seeing the poor wee girl unwell. Quails are such small birds and seeing them in pain breaks my heart. I have positive hopes however for my little birdie.

I'm not seeing anything obviously wrong with her chest.

It feels hard to touch as well.

Had she just eaten? That's about where her crop is.

No her crop is just below that I’ve felt it.

Is a vet an option? They will be able to give you a far better diagnosis than we can. I'm getting concerned at this point that her infection is pretty far advanced.

The white spots look like thrush to me. Fungal infection. Nystatin is the usual treatment.

Thanks for the advice. Happy to say she recovered!
