Injured bird won't eat or drink and sleeps constantly. Is this normal?

Question

Injured Quaill (2) I decided to place some antiseptic on its wounds and bandaged it. However now it is only sleeping and wont eat or drink. Should i aid him in eating/drinking or is it better to just leave him alone and let him sleep? Is it normal for it to sleep for a long time? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

Hi there, I'm sorry to say but little Fero is very sick. He has extensive sounds and is in poor condition. The fact that he is sleeping a lot and not eating or drinking suggests that he is starting to shut down. The only thing you could do would be get him to a vet because if he's going to survive he needs medication such as antibiotics. However, it may be too late for him.
