Yes I’m willing to do it myself but since they checked in with me the following day I sort of feel like I should let them know what’s going on.
Yesterday she was more willing to eat pomegranate than anything else. Today I tried scrambled eggs but she didn’t really want them. Her crop has been emptying but today she didn’t really eat much of anything besides the egg fed by opening her
A lot of people drain the fluid themselves.
Another alternative is to give Aloe Detox.
@coach723 explains how she used that here

Is her crop emptying?
Yes, often they do go off feed when having reproductive issues. When I have one that is like this, I try different things to see if they will eat something. Scrambled egg, a bit of cooked liver, bits of soaked bread, tomato, sardines or tuna, buttermilk with white cooked rice...I'm not advocating these things long term, but sometimes "goodies" for a few short days will get them over the hump and back to eating more normal.

I’m concerned to drain when she is already dehydrated (comb got floppier yesterda but retained normal color). If I do decide to drain it seems it might be best to force fluids. I read over a cup is advised which seems like a lot to eye drop in. As I said before she did resume drinking on her own when I switched to sugar water from electrolyte.
