Her good eye seems dry, should I be concerned

I did see a tiny white bugs crawling across her beak just now 😵‍💫
You can put the terramycin ointment in both eyes if needed.
Permethrin dust for the bugs.




If you think she's got bugs on her, then dust her with Permethrin instead of giving a bath.

She's needs fluids and nutrition.

How much are you tubing or syringing into her each day? Juvenile birds need about 10% of their body weight several times a day.

Her poop is likely like that due to not eating. I'd be tempted to treat her coccidiosis as well.
See that her crop is emptying overnight.

You're putting ointment in her eye, is it still infected or you're just putting ointment in her eye to keep it from sticking together?

I don't know about the Aqua Zithro dosing, never have used it, this may help.

Update I posted on my Facebook account:View attachment 3291887

The baby girl made it through the night. Repositioned herself to do a big poo and went back to sleep. Later this morning I will try to stand her up and dip her beak in an electrolyte/sugar solution. If she shows no interest, I will be syringe dropping water into her.
After she gets fluids a warm crumble mash and a side of scrambled eggs and watermelon to help motivate her. Did you know the esophagus is on the right of a chicken's mouth? Putting fluids to the center or left can cause the bird to aspirate the liquids.
Who's right? My right or her right? Thanks!

We're trying to get it out. I watched a YouTube video that excessive put up where they squeeze it out a little bit but it's not really moving I'm trying to use q-tips to create a little bit more friction to get it but I don't want to hurt her.
