Bright green runny poop & squishy crop - please help, desperate!

Don't ever do this again.
You are supposed to mix the 1/2 teaspoon of Corid with 2 teaspoons of water and give just a little bit of that mixture to the bird.

I have been offline today...how if she now?

Oh crap, I don’t know how I read that so wrong!! I didn’t give it to her today at least. She seems about the same, she’s slept all day and doesn’t have any energy. I was able to get some food mash down her two separate times. It’s a mix of mashed up all flock crumbles, electrolytes, and a dash of cinnamon & garlic. Her crop didn’t completely empty between the first time I fed her & the second time, but it was smaller. Her poop has also firmed up a little, but it’s still bright green.

Is she drinking the water on her own?

Citychic please don't feel bad, your post and Kiki's reply help us all learn!

She’s drinking some water. Not much though. I’m ending up giving her a fair amount of water in the mash, I have kind of a small syringe so it has to be pretty liquidy to get it down her. It’s still probably not enough, but it’s something.

A little is better than none.

Make sure you don't force this down the wrong pipe, as little as one drop down the wrong hole will kill her.

Yes I was reading about that, so I’m not squirting it very far down her throat and sticking to the corner so it doesn’t go down the wrong pipe. I think I’ll try the tube feeding tomorrow though, it seems safer and more effective.

Great!

I have seen her yawn/open her mouth and shake her head once or twice this evening. Could this have to do with her crop not emptying properly? Is there anything I should do about it, or just let her be?

Well hazel seems about the same this morning. Her crop was almost empty but not completely. I gave her a little bit more feed mash, but not a lot yet. She did have two droppings that weren’t bright green...the first that haven’t been green in five days. I’m hoping that’s a good sign!

she could just be tired and you could see if she will eat a bit of oatmeal or scrambled eggs for some good nutrition
