Hi!
I rescued a single coturnix quail a couple months ago, and for the last few days she won’t open her eyes. She is still eating and drinking normally, and not puffed up at all, but she is a little less active than normal. (That could be because she can’t really see.)
There are no vets anywhere near me that will even look at her, so I'm not really sure what to do. I have been gently cleaning her eyes with saline water (that’s what the internet suggested) but it does not seem to be helping. I can’t see any injuries and her eyes do not appear to be swollen but when she does happen to crack then open, they do appear slightly red/irritated.
Any other ideas on what to do for her? I have attached a picture in case it helps.
