Swollen nostrils?

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

One of my quail was attacked by another and half of her face was missing under a thick layer of blood. I tended to her and didn’t notice anything else out of the ordinary. I sprayed her with the purple dye and put her back.

A couple of days later and I noticed the top of her beak where her nostrils are was very raised, it reminded me of a budgie but it is comparatively much more prominent. That was now a couple of weeks ago and it’s still the same and she doesn’t seem to have any difficulties but I’m pretty sure it’s not normal.

Any advice or experience would be appreciated.

Obviously just guessing but it sounds like it could be granulation tissue, similar to proud flesh if you know horses. Usually happens as part of the healing process involved with some infection.

If she's eating and breathing fine I would just keep an eye on her :)
