Hey guys so i rehomed one my aggressive male and female to nice family last friday sad but was looking out for rest of flock so a day in and one my gals had bleeding eyes which im thinking my other male done maybe re doing pecking order well every time i try bring her in house she goes into shock again so i put her back out there with very close eye injuries have been treated and heeling but i think she may be blind now? She eating and drinking okay but dont seem to show signs of seeing things she is also going in corner a lot and sleeping loads quail left her alone nw i know should be seperated but that seems to cause more harm then any good ? Help pls?

Can you post pictures please?

What kind of quail are they (this is in the quail section) ?

Post pictures so we can see how bad it is. You say you think she’s gone blind, so that can’t be good

Is it possible to put her in a cage next to the other quail? That way she would have the others nearby for company, but they could not peck her.

If she gets upset about moving to a different pen, maybe move the others into a pen next to that one, and leave her in the place she knows. If she really is blind, it can be important for her to have the feed, water, and other furnishings in the same places all the time, so she knows where to find them and where is safe to walk.

You might be surprised. I have a roo that I though had lost an eye three times. He still has both eyes. Pictures would really help.

How have you been checking for blindness?
Personally, I like to put a pen near their eye (Not in it) and if they pull their heads back, they can see it and they are not blind: and if they don't pull their heads back, they might be blind.

She looks ok in my opinion.

I had something similar happen with a chicken a few months ago. Her eye looked horrifying for almost 2 months, but she healed up and seems to have most of her vision in that eye back now. There was definitely a point when she couldn't see at all out of it, it was cloudy and such, she would turn her whole head to look at you.
Dont give up hope even if she does seem to be blind. Infection and swelling can cause temporary blindness as well as permanent.
