Hello all—I've got a 1-year-old Coturnix quail hen who presented with a prolapsed vent last night. I cleaned her up and stuck it back in, along with a little hydrocortisone to help with swelling. This morning her vent looks MUCH better (can't get a good picture as she hates being held) but now she's having these weird, watery, urate-y poops. She's drinking normally, but I'm withholding food until I have a better grasp on the situation.
Index finger for scale.
Her posture has changed, too, an almost "hunchback" look with tail raised slightly. I can feel an egg in her abdomen that I couldn't feel last night. Could she be egg bound? Any idea what's causing her droppings to change?
