Quail help :(

[Birds1243]

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.

She is pooping but very liquid like - I guess that’s since she’s not eating much. Since the morning, she has really improved, now talking, bathing and running. Looks so much better. Not as tired and slouched. (She turns 2yrs next month )
I had given her Epsom salt bath yesterday and also earlier today (she loved it) she gets calcium through crushed egg shells or a calcium grit mix depending on which is available. Will still order the Calcium Citrate, hopefully it will come tomorrow

It sounds like she's not egg bound, but her lack of appetite is worrying. 2 years old is old, but not end of lifespan old for coturnix quail. If she's still not eating, you can try tempting her with some boiled, crushed egg yolk.

Was literally just about to make her egg. Hopefully this will help her
