Thank you. I keep thinking about all the things I should have done differently. I hope others can learn from my mistakes too.

Thanks, but she died right after I posted that. I can't stop crying, I keep thinking she would have been fine if I wasn't so stupid :(

@casportpony I screwed up so badly :( This morning her water cup was nearly empty, which means she drank over 100 ml before I woke up. So I went straight for the pulverized chick crumble, but it kept clogging up in the syringe while I was tubing her. I tried blending the crumble more but it kept...
