    Thank you so much, she's the first one I've ever lost. It was horrible. And your right.. Sometimes it's just not meant to be. :(

    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. Crystal

    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

    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 mixed up se powdered milk and it think she's drinking it. How often should I dip her beak?? Every 1/2 hr or so? I actually can't believe she's still alive. Literally every hr I think this is the end and she keeps proving me wrong . I wish I had someone here who had experience to help. Live...

    She won't eat anything on her own. I didn't even think of the baby formula seeing she's a bird... Think that will work??

    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,

    The pet store doesn't have it, I'd have to check with the vet clinic in the next largest town.

    I have nothing that looks like that. Only plastic tubes, syringes, everything necessary for an IV. She's so tiny I'm afraid I'll choke her if I try

    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.
