Breathing issues

[countrybeachgirl]

Could be an impacted crop, or sour crop. Looks like she's trying to adjust her crop. Her crop shouldn't be enlarged in the morning, should be down. As long as you aren't hearing a crackling sound. That could mean an upper respiratory problem..like a cold for us. Good luck. I can tell you care.

I checked her and I don’t feel anything in her crop. I looked down her throat. I didn’t see anything in there either. She now has one eye that is staying shut. I called my vet and said she just needs more time on the meds. She is eating this morning.

Do you have a scale that got can weigh her on? When they get sick it is a good idea to weigh them daily.

I have a regular human scale. I felt bone when I checked her crop. I called another vet and I’m waiting for him to call me back.

Weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding her. The difference is her weight.

I had been giving them 1/4 of a teaspoon of Tetroxy HCA-280 to a gallon of water a day. I upped the amount today to 3/4. I’m hoping the other vet knows more.

Ok I will do that.

She's a mystery girl. Glad you have her on meds. We wish you luck. If she is eating, wouldn't hurt to give her... plain...yogurt. Good for a few things, including weight.

I just got off the phone with the vet. He recommended that I have her euthanized. Since I felt bone.

I will do that. I have her isolated with her water with antibiotics and some feed. Letting her get some fresh air. Hoping it will help her. I’m not giving up on her yet. And I’m wondering if the other birds have pecked her in the eye and that’s why it’s shut. Like I said she doesn’t have any drainage. I just wish I knew more. If I would’ve recognized the symptoms sooner she would probably be better now.

You may be right about another bird pecking her eye. They can be mean to the sick ones. Separating her is a good thing to do for many reasons.
