Scalped Quails help :(
DISCLAIMER**** these are not my quails****
I’m currently farm sitting for a couple right now, and right before they went on vacation for 2 wks, my boyfriend noticed these quails in a cage getting scalped by another bird. I don’t know how long they were in there for, I don’t know if they recently put them in there THAT day or what.
There were originally 4, one in the pen was entirely dead, and the other one that passed I believe was just too far gone, it only survived a couple days. These two seem to be doing better. I don’t have access to a vet/or really any money to work with.
The two left are set up in a ≈20x30x14 inch clear storage box with no lid. They have white pine shavings + food and water.
I left the wounds alone for 3 days and then pat some saline on the wounds to clear debris leftover.
Are any of you able to tell me possible things to do for them?? I’m lost and never taken care of a bird let alone an injured one. Does it at least look like they’re healing fine?? :( my heart breaks for these quails
