2 at least ) and she now is having some difficulties eating . I am
cutting up the meat . yesterday i gave them quails and i got a meat
hammer and banged the quail , after i noticed she was having
difficulties . Is it ok ? or can this lead to some pointy bones ?
can i do this with chicken also ? Or should i ask the butcher
for "bone meal " ?

She never needed much bone, she needs less now. If you want to get
some ground meat and bone, sure, why not? Just be sure the fat
content is not too much for her. I think you should be feeding her
what she likes, what she can get down, keep down and digest easily.
If that includes ground bone, okay. You bet cut up her meat. If she
does well on scrambled eggs or cottage cheese, feed those as well.
