tried the warm bath and massage but she is just skin and bones. Could not feel any lumps or anything. i have to force her to eat. prying her beak open with a syringe
full of vitamin/electrolye water and yogurt. she does not strain but has watery poop. she is content to sit under the heat lamp. seems alert ....but wobbly on her feet.
Would olive oil be ok?
 
1) What type of bird , age and weight.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
4) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
5) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
6) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
7) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
8) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
9 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
10) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
11) Describe the housing/bedding in use

Also Please check for lice mites mold and any chemicals around.
