My poor Figment has a twisted neck! At first I thought it was wry neck - gave her lots of polyvisol without iron and no change. I checked her crop and it's not emptying so I don't think she's getting the nutrients. Crop doesn't feel hard, feels normal if maybe a little squishy. Her breath smells AWFUL and her breathing is slightly crackly and her nose is runny. Her eye on one side is swollen and was stuck shut - I put a warm compress on it until it opened. She was dragging it on the ground though so that could easily have hurt her eye. She was laying but has not laid an egg in several days. This has been going on for 2 days now and nothing has worked. I tried to make her vomit, thinking it was sour crop but nothing would come out.
She seems alert but keeps trying to escape backwards. She is now in a cat carrier with towels so she doesn't hurt herself. I have no idea what it could be!
Here is a picture, note the twisty neck.
Edited to add: She is 10 months old, we have been syringing water and oil in case of crop impaction.
