Mycoplasma In Quail
I suspect that my quail have mycoplasma which is like congunctivitis. It is an infection of the air passages and signs of the infection are:
- swollen facial sinuses.
Other signs may include:
- sneezing,
- eye discharges,
- breathing through a partly opened beak,
- reduced growth,
- reduction in appetite,
- joints may also be affected and birds may become lame and
- in laying birds there may be reduced egg production.
An anti-biotic treatment can be given in the water. Consultation with a vet is advised.
Mycoplasma can affect chickens, turkeys, and game birds including pheasants, chukar partridges and peafowl as well as bobwhite quail and Japanese quail.
If you keep quail and want to ask a question to get some advice or just to chat about your quail then why not join the free farmingfriends quail forum.
