Extremely ill guinea hen. Very skinny and lethargic. HELP!

You could also dip your finger into the water and put it on her beak. See if you can get more fluids into her.

Alright. She was preening. That's a good sign, right? School starts in two days. I'm going to need to figure something out if she's not better by then.

You're doing a great job!

Thank you
I'm trying the best for my girl. I'm not super worried about her at the moment. I just wanna make sure that its not the avian flu. Once I'm sure it isn't, I'm gonna be super worried. Sure, I'm worried. I just don't want my other birds to die. I'm still giving her all my attention.

Yes, that's a good sign

I wasnt able to get her to eat mealworms. I tried opening her beak, and whenever I got one in her beak, she spat it back out. She did eat almost the whole egg though. I showed her the egg in the bowl, and she went to town. Once she was no longer interested, I started petting her chin and she tried biting me. She does normally bite, so I'm happy

I just hope that this isn't one of those instances where they get better and then drop dead

Feisty is good, guineas are hard to treat. Keep doing what you're doing.

Offer her a little bit of cooked meat, see if she'll eat some

Okay. I'm making tacos, so I'll save a bit if unseasoned meat for her. I'm also giving her some chick starter feed. Is that okay?

Her crop feels like a balloon.
