Ok this is amazing! I'm still reading but I just had to say .. this is the perfect thing to read. Now i know what should be where, and what it would need to look like etc

For me it really helped knowing the relationship between the nostrils, the choanal slit, the glottis, and the trachea.

I am very visual too, so I hear you! What I need to do is a diagram that shows this.

Yes a diagram would be amazing!!! There's got to be one somewhere!?

Still reading and trying to get a photo comparison of her neck. If you look at both of them standing up from the side, you can see her neck is wider than the others. Super hard to explain. Yikes.. I'll post a picture as soon as I can.

Just to rule out something lodged there what about tubing like for tube feeding K to see if something maybe lodged in her throat? Just trying to think of anything that may help this little one

If that seems wider than normal you could try inserting something to clear the blockage. Do you have a 1 ml syringe or a thin piece of tubing? Or maybe a qtip lubed with KY jelly?

I do have a syringe not sure on size. Let me find it. I've got qtips too. Let me see what I've got for lubrication.

I just noticed something as I was going through the load of pictures trying to get a neck comparison .

It looks like she had a lump or swollen bottom bill.. I circled the sick one in purple and the other one in blue. Could something be lodged in there ??? Or a reaction or injury ?

I'll post a set of pictures so you can look

Sick

Not sick

Other pictures

Just standing in the water staring. Isn't that something?? Deficiency or some illness right? They just stare. Now she's just floating in the watee but not staring upwards . No idea?

She is drinking water while floating.

Did you look under her tongue? Might have food lodged under.
