Sick baby quail

[Tgnbni]

I rescued a baby quail (elroy)a few weeks ago. I have had it on the starter food and provided grit which it sometimes pecks seed and water however it will not touch them.Three days ago it was apparent that something was wrong with his eye it had some white in it and was puffy. I gently washed with water however the next day it was closed. Its now open as i washed it however still puffy and today he is very off balance on his feet. Can someone please suggest anything that may help or what i can do as i have no idea. Thankyou

He seems to be declining in health

Do you have a vet that will see quail near you?

I agree. I'm not sure. Try giving him some vitamins and electrolytes in his water. Maybe that will help.

It could be an infection of some sort. This article outlines diseases in quail. See if any of them for your poor baby's symptoms.
