At a loss on what to do!

[purpletree23]

Until you can her to the vet on Monday keep her separate from the others so you can moniter her and give her TLC. This will also give her a chance to rest and get better. Get some gatorade or pedialyte and make sure she drinks! Very important. She can live without food for a few days but needs fluids. If she won't drink get a dropper and drop the fluid on the top/side of her beak so the water will slowly roll down into her beak and she can swallow and not get it in her lungs.

Get Poly vi Sol (without iron) baby vitamins at the pharmacy....even Wal mart. Give her 2 drops in the morning and two drops at night. Make her special foods to get her to eat. Yogurt mixed with cheerios (my birds love this) scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, watermelon to help with fluids and gatorade mixed with her regular food to make it taste better. Go easy on the treats but if she will eat watermelon she is getting fluids. Not too much because it can cause diarrhea.

keep us informed

Has she been wormed?

Well brought her in for the night she is not thrilled with the subject but ate some yogurt for me and a raspberry and a sip of water.

Her left eye is close but her right is doing just fine!

I dont worm my chickens as they are normally doing just fine and dandy. DE is sprinkled around the coop/favorite areas on twice monthly basis

be sure to take a fresh (and AMPLE supply) of fresh poo in for the vet to do a faecal... if she has worms you need to treat for that!

Poo shouldnt be a problem I work there and she'll be worked in.

She made it through the night, stilll panting eye a little more open, and happly eating fruit.

Re the testing: You will want, "fecal egg count," not just a fecal.
