We hit the 50's one day and I took her back outside. She needed to find her place again but held her own and everything seemed fine for about 2 weeks. Then again it got pretty darn cold and I found her sitting hunkered down in a corner. I brought her in again. As soon as she was in the house she was acting normal. She's very thin again and her poop as been very watery. I see her drink a lot. Up until a few days ago she was eating pretty much anything I put in front of her. Still thin and off balance. She walks pretty slow but doesn't have the large swollen belly I would expect with EYP. I'm pretty sure that is what I lost her sister to. (She swelled up like a water balloon. I drained her abdomen but had her put down when it refilled quickly) Bossy's belly is firm but doesn't feel like her sisters did. It's also nowhere near as large. She is eating and drinking. I've been giving her nutri-drench for a few days and her poop is better. I haven't seen any signs of worms I her poo. I was going to try worming her next. I was afraid to if that's not really the problem. Will I upset her internally even more... No blood in her poo either. At this point if it where cocci I figure there would be blood or she would be gone. I took her outside in the warmth today. It's supposed to get cold again. Her first lash egg was Friday. It wasn't very large and really egg shaped. It didn't smell rotten but it wasn't good that's for sure. She layed a second one I found today. It was so small I'm surprised I found it. It didn't have the layered look of her first when I opened it up. It was still pretty round in shape though.
Is there a liquid bird food to tube feed? Could I grind up her food and make it into a slurry in the blender? I have penicillin but she doesn't even have breast muscle to inject it into.
You are not supposed to give penicillin orally I looked into that. Could I inject into a thigh maybe?
Any advice would be great. I just feel so bad for the poor thing.
