Hello, I am looking for some advise on quail illnesses.
I had 4 courtnix kept in a covered run so wild birds can’t get to them. One of the girls in the picture was off for a couple of weeks. She seemed very lethargic, with puffed up feathers and her eyes sometimes closed. She still ate and dust bathed. I took her to the vet who couldn’t find anything wrong. She sadly died 2 weeks ago. We don’t know how old she was.
The picture is of her about 2 weeks before she died.
The problem is today I think one of the other girls is showing the same symptoms. She was always very lively, but seems much quieter and puffy.
Does anyone have any suggestions and could if he passed on from the other bird, or too much time has passed. We live in London and the vets aren’t very knowledgeable on quails.
Thank you for your help.
