We had a slightly frustrating, but kind of ok days recently. One morning, Rusty suddenly became unable to walk properly, and when we picked her up to see any injury, we could feel a sticking out bone (maybe a sternum?). We couldn't see any blood or external injury as such, but she was struggling to move.
So we made an appointment with a local vet.
She looked like she was dying all day. No strength in her legs, etc.
"Ok, it's time, Rusty, we are taking you to the vet...............??!.....Rusty????"
SHE WAS WALKING, EATING, DRINKING, STRETCHING, SCRATCHING, FLAPPING, BATHING.....like a normal, healthy quail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We cancelled the vet appointment in the end, as we were worried that there will be another war if we take her outside, and if there was nothing wrong with her, there will be an unnecessary fight.
Now then, a couple of days later, it happened again. So this time we took her to the vet!
The vet gave her antibiotics and worming injection, but apart from that, she didn't see anything wrong with her! The vet said that normally ill birds are painfully thin and weak. Rusty has a good fat reserve!!!
She came home, no fighting with Ermentrude or Zebedee, just happily quailing.
It happened again yesterday morning, we left her in the house, she was fine by the evening......
What can we do!? Nothing!
Those Quail are Qrazy!
