how often should I be making her eat? I've made a nice thin glop with dissolved chick starter (medicated, can't hurt, might help, who knows!), yogurt, and milk powder, I've been syringing it with a little 5cc, every couple hours. I'm also syringing her water. She's in the house now, during the night it was warmer on the carport, but during the day it's just too hot for her. The flies are awful. So she is in the living room on a towel and heating pad. The difference between now and last night is amazing. She does not lie on her side anymore, her eyes are open, and she makes sad little whines when I'm bugging her. Her legs and body are warm, last night she was cold as ice even out in 85 degree weather with a lamp on her.
I don't know if she will make it but I'm not going to stop trying. I also bought a huge thing of the Sulmet and am getting the Corid on payday so I will have a big old stash of these available if this happens again.
None of the other birds (adult, or the ones with her, or the youngest ones) are showing any sign of illness, which is great. They're all being treated though.
Here is a pic of her yesterday afternoon...
and here she is now... Don't laugh at me, the clip keeps her head from getting the mash glued to the feathers.
