Quail Joints Locked Up, Antibiotics?

[Coturnix Coturnix]

My 8m old Quail Rooster was injured by a cat a couple weeks ago. I've isolated him in a carboard box for a week to recover, but after a week he couldn't bend his joints on his legs. He kind of scuttles around his cage. What kind of antibiotics can I give him to help him heal, if he can heal from this?

Sorry you haven’t gotten a reply yet. My first go-to for locked up joints would be vitamin supplements in his water, like Nutri-drench or a Broiler Booster type product. Given that this has been going on a while though, if there wasn’t improvement with vitamins then I’d consider antibiotics. No idea what dosage is good though.

do you have a video of how he moves or any pictures?

A video would be helpful. You can upload one to YouTube and post a link here. It's hard to say if this is disease or infection. Is a vet an option?

How is he doing now?
