Well, it’s been 3 days since my sister’s quail were attacked by a predator on my watch.  (I’m taking care of her animals while she’s on vacation.) The only survivor is a male.  I brought him home with me to take care of him and give him the fighting chance he deserves.  I was first surprised he made it thru the day following the attack which happened sometime during the night.  Then surprised he made it thru the day yesterday, then last night.  But, here he is, still fighting.  I continue to feed him and give him water thru a syringe numerous times throughout the day in an attempt to keep him nourished and hydrated, so his little body can heal.  I look forward to the day the swelling in his eyes subsides, although I have no clue whether or not he’ll ever see again, I’m hopeful he will.
