Quail Fungus?

[MarieLKelly]

Hi!

I noticed that my quail has been not using her right leg (limping). Upon further examination, it seems she has a fungus on her leg. Please see pic. Does anyone know what this could be and/or how to treat it?

Many thanks!!!

No.


Can you another picture with her standing up on the leg.

How long is it looked like this?

Hi! Thanks for your reply.

She won't stand on it. She hops around on her left leg without putting her right leg down. She just started hopping around yesterday. I imaging this condition has been present for a while. It has just finally reached the point where it is affecting her mobility.

Let me know if you need better or more pics.

Many thanks!

I am no vet, so this isn't reliable.
I also haven't had such thing with my quails.

It is just a guess into the blue, by seeing similar pics in another forum with chickens.

It might be mites... to be exact Knemidokoptes

But again, just a guess!

I am thinking of trying a soak in vinegar or epsom salt and following it up with an antibacterial ointment.

I am trying to avoid going to the exotic vet due to covid and $$$.

Any comments?

Many thanks for your input!❤

Is it on that 4th back toe? It looks almost like gangrene....

The green muscle disease is inside, on the muscle flesh, not outside on the skin.
