Quail with closed nostrils and sneezing

[GuineaFowling]

My brother went to the feed store and brought home a beautiful female golden coturnix quail. I immediately noticed she had somewhat closed nostrils. By that I mean her nostril flaps are almost fully closed. There is a small opening for her to breath but if she is running or doing something which causes her to need lots of oxygen she will breath from her mouth. My brother said all of the quail at the feed store had closed nostrils so I assumed it was a nutrition deficiency. I had a wyandotte hen with the same closed nostrils but hers opened up after a while. She is also sneezing occasionally. She has the type of sneeze that a person would have when they have a cold. Should I be worried?
Aside from the two problems she is perfectly normal. She eats, drinks, and plays fine. She is really sweet and tame for a bird I didn't raise.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sounds like she has a respiratory infection and needs antibiotics. Duramycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic and takes care of most respiratory ailments. Many feed stores carry this, not sure about TSC however. You can order it on line as well.

Yes, this will compromise her health and could eventually kill her.

Thank you, TwoCrows. Would it be safe to medicate my button quail that I house with this quail. The button isnt showing any symptoms but just to be safe I want to medicate her. Also, if my feed store doesn't have Duramycin can I use Tylan 50 and in what form?
