I think that may just be the angle of the photo. The pads of each of her feet have been about the same size of swollen since I started treatment. Sorry for the inconsistent camera work

She's never had trouble walking that I've noticed, even when she was in the hutch before I started treatment.
Day 6. Took pics from side angles to show swelling as well (with bonus shadow puppetry in one!). I also took a pic of her bathtub recovery ward for reference. I plug the drain with an old sock, and I watched her pull the others over on top of it. She seems to prefer the lowest, flattest part of the tub.
Not sure I can do that considering my living situation. Having one quail in there is already...a bit of a problem. Is it vital to her recovery that I give her a companion?
Not vital, but it will help. Creatures (including people) heal better when they're happy.
Understood. When I purchased her, I bought a second quail with her (Phoebe). I put Phoebe in the tub with her this morning. Will report again this evening.
Day 7 update. Unfortunately, this didn't work out as planned. The one (Phoebe) I put in there with her (Persephone) was extremely lethargic when I went in there to tend to her. Phoebe was missing some feathers when I first got them, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Maybe it was too cold in there for her? I put her back in the hutch and gave her some food by putting it in her beak. She's not herself and I don't know if Persephone attacked her or if she hit her head or what.
