Female coturnix quail. Not feeling too great :(
Her symptoms: Not laying (3days), Not eating today, bit slow, bit slumped, not very vocal today. Is she egg bound?
Given her: warmth, Critical Care formula, vetrx, clean home, sunlight, access to nutritional food and water.
Advice would be appreciated.
 
Is she pooping?
Is she fluffed up?
How old is she?
What are you feeding her? Is she getting enough calcium?

If she's pooping, then she's not egg bound. If she isn't pooping, she probably is, and you need to treat this immediately or she will die. Give her calcium citrate to give her a quick calcium boost and put her in a warm (quail body temp) epsom salt bath. These will help her pass the egg if she is egg bound.
