Quail with sunk in stomach? Help emergency!

[duckncover]

My on quail has a sunk in stomach...her bone sticks right out...

What can I do to help her out?

I can't tell from the pics, but do you mean her breastbone, or keel? If that's the case, she probably has worms. Give them all a bit if wazine wormer if you have it, put some ACV in their water, and mix some food-grade DE in their feed.

I've seen post that suggest red pepper as a wormer for chickens. Does anyone think that would work for quail also?

I really don't think it's worms...

She isn't eating and her poop looks okay no worms...just greenish poop.

She looks tired and doesn't move much. I have separated her from the flock.

What can I do for her?

Interesting.

I haven't tried but I did give some to my birds & they about mow you down when they see that bottle.

By the time you "see" worms in any animal it is usually so bad you cant help them. Worming her would be a really good place to start.

Yes, i agree i think it's worms. LIke the one above me said, if you SEE worms that's when they are so loaded its almost the end of the road. I'd worm her. ALso, i dont really see what you're talking about

lol
