Today I realized that something is wrong with one of my quails. Her droppings were quite unusual. Very watery with urates and foam. She also poops more often, like every 4 or 5 minutes. She has a problem since January, she started drinking excessive amounts of water and I think it was because of too much calcium, it stopped a few times but she's still drinking a lot and leaving watery droppings behind. Sometimes she lays blue-ish eggs without brown spots and with calcium deposits all over them. What could be wrong? What should I do?
 
Can you post pictures of some of her droppings? What is her enclosure like? How many quails does she live with?
I cleaned them all up but next time I find one I will post a picture of it.
She lives in a guinea pig cage (I think?) with another female. They are pets, I keep them in my room and I let them out of the cage often, so I can almost immediately see if something's wrong.

Does she feel lighter than usual? Or look different? (Eg. Lethargic)
 
I remember reading that excessive thirst could be a symptom of a serious disease, but I don't remember which one. Sorry. Search the threads for thirst to see if you find it. Even though she seems back to normal now, if the other symptoms line up, you might want to make sure to have whatever treatment ready just in case it starts again, or your other hen gets it. Fingers crossed all is well now. :fl
