I'm very sorry for your loss, truly. :hugs

When they get like this, and are not responsive, or nearly not responsive, I don't force anything. Too much stress, and too much chance they will aspirate. Just hold her, and love her. I'm so sorry.

Please don't be hard on yourself. It's entirely possible that you had nothing to do with this and it's just the natural progression of whatever is going on with her. I have worked really hard on trying to save some of my birds only to find out at necropsy that it was really out of my hands...

I don't think it's likely that you overdosed the vitamins, but if she already had kidney or liver issues, then possibly it could exacerbate that. Many of the supplements for poultry are very helpful in the short term, but not really intended (or good for) longer term use. It's very hard to say...

Age may be catching up with her. No matter how spoiled she is, you really must stop the treats, they dilute the necessary nutrition she needs to be healthy. Vitamin deficiencies are very common and can cause very weird symptoms. An older bird may not be absorbing nutrients as well, and that...
