My nephew has quail and he butchered one brought the carcass to mine and cooked it. Myself and my dog had some but he mentioned after eating the bird that the quail was potentially ill. I need to know what the illness was and will myself and most importantly, my dog be okay?
He says the bird was falling over to its side and just laying there gasping. The bird was apparently walking funny on its hocks and then resting a few days prior. The liver, stomach and intestine looked odd he said. If it is ulcerative enteritis, is this likely to be passed to me or my dog through the cooked meat?
 
Welcome To BYC

I'm sorry that you found this information after the fact, how awful!

Unfortunately, there's really no way for us to be able to know what was wrong with the Quail or whether or not it was safe to consume.

Hopefully you and your dog have no ill effects, but if you do, seek medical attention immediately.
