Hi, I need some help please.

I came home the other day to my female King quail paralysed. She seems fine other than not being able to walk, her legs are laid out behind her.

I only got her last month, I got a male with her. She laid 4 eggs 2 weeks ago now and she seemed fine after that. I asked the person I got her off if he experienced this before, and he hasn’t. I then asked another friend and he said my quail is too young to be breeding and the paralysis could be from that. I think her and the male were born around December last year. Seperate clutches

I’m unsure what to do, I’ve kept her isolated in a box with soft padding, food, water and a heat lamp. I’ve also been giving her Epsom salt baths but it doesn’t look like her condition is getting better, all though it’s not getting worse.

Someone please help me, as I can’t afford a vet trip right now 😭
