Hi everyone!
I do not own coturnix myself but i take care of a small group a few times a week and today i noticed this on one of the hens. Her whole left foot and one toe on the right one are obviously very swollen but she doesn't seem to be in pain/no limping. Could this possibly be bumblefoot?

Vet will be contacted but i would like to hear if anyone knows what this could be and how to treat it in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!

I see what looks like a mostly healed over wound on the right foot, so I would suspect bumblefoot. I would start with a soak in warm epsom salt water. She might benefit from antibiotics, but I would consult with a vet for that.
