    I want thank you again for all your help. I am so glad I found this thread, my girl has more energy already. The new food came today, so I mixed it 25% new to 75% old. Same way I do when I change my dog's food, hopefully it will be a smooth transition. Thanks again!

    Well, I got to the 40 grams for 5‰ of her weight, but that's as far as I could go. I didn't know that a millilitre actually weighs a gram. Does my plan of slowly increasing the amount sound like the way to go? Is there anything I should look for that would tell me she's in danger of...

    I'm glad you answered so quickly. I was wracking my head to try to convert 40 grams into a form of volume... My brain just doesn't work that way I'm afraid. Even with Google I couldn't figure it out. LOL. Thank you so much for your help. I don't know how much her crop will hold. I...

    Yes, her poops are good. Only has loose after kale day.... She loves her kale. I just weighed her and she's 1 lb. 12oz. So that means she needs more, right? More food and water?

    I hate to admit this, but I never measure. I syringe up 15ml water into a small cup. Then I mix in the food until it's not soupy, but still goes through the tube easily. Now I'm wondering if I'm slowly starving her. If I can't find my old scale I'll pick up a new one today.

    I'm just guessing here, but I'd say around 1 or 2 pounds. I have an old kitchen scale out in the storage, I'll try to dig it out tomorrow and see if it works. I've been feeding around 12 ml three times a day. Every 6 hours... I set up the alarm on my phone to go off. It's so easy to get...

    I need to ask a question please. I have a 7 mo old silkie with wry neck that I've been tube feeding 3 times a day. I've done so much research and reading, my head hurts. One thing I can't seem to find is: when you are tube feeding a bird do you need to syringe extra water to them, or is the...
