I did take her to the vet, I am trained as an avian vet tech., but I wanted my vet to see her before I tried to help Rose myself. It was very informative because of course there is some misinformation out there, so it was worth getting the straight answers from a professional. I will be draining the fluid myself today, but my vet confirmed it is a poor prognosis ultimately and we have no idea what is the cause. I don’t want to run a lot of tests because of the $. However, her quality of life is good right now so I think she can be stabilized and happy for the time being!
. I rip it up into pieces and feed it by hand or throw it in their swimming pool/bathtub. Only romaine though, I know there are some varieties that are not good for them like spinach. Or is too high in iron. They also like grapes, or berries. Smash the grapes a little or cut them into pieces. Like other birds and chickens. They also like mealworms! I have 2 Pekin males, Donald and Aflac. I adopted them as adults along with 2 female khakis. They had babies last summer that look like Black Swedish ducks. I had 1 khaki male and a mallard mix so there were 7 khaki, 13 Pekin/khaki cross and 1 almost all black female with mallard type wing markings.
Guess they didn't care to socialize. They certainly appreciated it when I bailed their pool and refilled it. Once we get their run built they will have a bigger pool, probably more than one. Because I'm crazy & they are spoiled!
