First, don't give any liquid or feed. She could quite easily aspirate, esp. now.
 
Feel her crop. Is it hard or soft? Im guessing she ingested something she shouldn't have, or has an impacted or sour crop. Or a blockage in her esophagus. Gently feel her throat and see if you feel and lumps of feed. Be gentle. How long has she been like this?
Be prepared she might not make it. How's her breathing?

Her breathing is a bit slow, and her crop seems empty. She's been like this for a few hours. I touched her throat, and she acted in pain. There might be something in her throat?

I just felt around her throat. She just kept opening and closing her mouth, and I didn't see or feel anything inside of it.

Aspirated or something else?

Not an emergency, questions about sudden death.
