Ah, all I was saying is it might not be... but that is a good first step if you suspect salt toxicity.

You said if you see these signs, then its salt toxicity, so remove the food. All I was adding is "... and consider it could be something else". I didn't mean that you were wrong, just that there is more to consider.

AGAIN DO THEY PRESENT THE SYMPTOMS IN RAPID ORDER FROM 15 TO 30 MINUTES? I AM VERY WELL VERSED IN ILLNESSES THAT GAMEBIRDS ARE SUSCEPTABLE TO YET CANNOT THINK OF ANY THAT MANIFEST QUICKLY AND IN ORDER LIKE SALT TOXICITY. EVEN ENCEPHALITIS WILL NOT BE AS QUICK IN QUAIL, AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT POOR TIMING COULD LEAD TO THE DISCOVERY OF SYMPTOMS WHILE YOU ARE FEEDING YOUR BIRDS, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE NO INFECTIOUS ILLNESS PROGRESSES THAT QUICKLY, NOR DOES MYCOTOXIN POISONING. IF 1 WERE TO FIND THIS SITUATION UPON THEM AND IT WERE AN ILLNESS THEN I WOULD TEND TO SAY THEY NEED TO BE WAY MORE OBSERVANT OF THEIR STOCK BECAUSE THE SIGNS HAVE BEEN THERE FOR AT LEAST 12 HRS+ AND WERE MISSED UNTIL SO SEVERE DEATH WAS IMMANENT AND THUS WOULD POINT TOWARD POOR HUSBANDRY.

SALT TOXICITY IS VERY EASILY OBSERVED IF PRESENT... 1 MINUTE YOUR FEEDING YOUR BIRDS AND 10 MINUTES LATER SYMPTOMS APPEAR, DEPENDING ON THE FEEDS TOXICITY AND BIRD'S SIZE THEY CAN BE DEAD WITHIN 10 MINUTES AFTER NOTICEABLE ONSET. ALL ASSOCIATED WITH FEED OR CONTAMINATED WATER CONSUMPTION. DONT MISS THE FOREST FOR THE TREES=== THIS IS A NOTICABLE, RAPID SUCCESSION OF AILMENTS FLOCK WIDE. WHILE THE SYMPTOMS MAY BE VAGUE INDIVIDUALLY AND IN SLOW ONSET ILLNESS, IN SALT TOXICITY ITS READILY APPARENT IN RAPID SUCCESSION AND IN MASS NUMBERS. WHEREAS VAGUE SIGNS OF DISEASE/ ILLNESS MAY APPEAR IN A BIRD OR A FEW AND SLOWLY PROGRESS THRU MORE VAGUE SYMPTOMS IN A GRADUAL ONSET. SALT TOXICITY RATHER HAS THE APPEARANCE OF CHEMICAL WARFARE WITH A NERVE GAS AGENT AT WORK.

YOU ARE CORRECT IN STATING THE SYMPTOMS CAN BE FROM MANY ILLNESSES OR OTHER CAUSES, QUAILLADY FAILED TO SPECIFY THE SPEED PARAMETERS IN THE START OF THE STRING, OR THE CLOSE CADENCE IN WHICH THEY WILL EXHIBIT OR BE MANIFESTED

I appologize, I did fail to mention if after feeding the birds, all the symptoms start appearing...It's a heart breaking sight...no one should go through it, believe me, it's like a war zone like JJ mentioned and devastating...
