I will, and thank you for all the advice and support, I'm truly amazed she lived as long as she did given all her problems. It sucks when you don't win the battle. I'm so glad to be part of such a wonderful community. Thank you.

Muffin died late last night while I was holding her. I knew she was going to go so I stayed with her to be sure she didn't die alone, she went quietly and while being loved, and although deep down I know it was for the best, the 5 days she was here weren't very fun for her I just can't stop crying.
I'm not sure what to do, she's making what looks like gasping for air with no sound while I was holding her, I have her under the heat lamp now and she seems to have stopped and is sleeping. That can't be a good sign
She has pooped some are normal and sometimes really watery, I haven't seen her poop at all today though, I'm wondering if she's having a hard time passing the rice cereal mixture, so the next few feedings I'm only going to giver her watery chick starter. I tried rubbing her bottom with a warm...
Just your advice means so much, thank you. I've been feeding her about once an hr, and dipping her beak in water every half hr. Am I under feeding and watering her? Or over feeding her... I honestly have no idea what I'm doing just taking it hr by hr. In your experience how often would you say...

I do have infant formula. I'm always rescuing animals so I keep it on hand. But because she's not a mammal I thought it would be to hard in her digestive system,
I'll take a picture, just a sec, sorry this is all new to me I think I'm re adding messages ect. I called the pet store, they only have fruit based baby feed. Would that work?
This is muffin. ( I named her muffin because every time I picked her up is say come here muffin) so it stuck. This is compared to a sibling who hatched around the same time.... She's so tiny it seems a miracle she's even alive.
