So Pearl has been sleeping almost all the time the last two or threeish days. She doesn't really seem to care for food or water more like I don't think she can tell where it's at half the time whenever she did want food and water.
She hasn't been walking at all, she's been pooping but because basically doesn't eat or even drink its not the way it should be.
Her comb has been looking okay color wise and she doesn't seem to have much trouble breathing from what I can tell, I've even listened to her with a stethoscope but i no vet or any thing so i wouldn't be able to tell exactly if something wrong based the sound her heart or lungs.
The night before yesterday me and my sister were syringing water into her mouth it also had nutri-drench in it, I was putting to much in her beak on accident. I am pretty sure she inhaled some water that day. She ate some food on her own a few days ago and hasn't really eaten since other than the few times we force fed some pellets by putting them into her beak.
Im thinking the only way she'll get better will be if we can use a gavage tube to force feed her. But we don't have any ravage tubes or whatever their called
I am going to ask my dad if he can get one today though so hopefully I'll have one soon and if I don't have one in time for Pearl than I'll at least have one handy for any other sick/injured birds in the future.
Here's Pearl in the cat carrier in my room. It about 70 in my room with the door open but at night when it's closed it gets to 67 and colder depending on the weather outside. I had a number of scares when she was in the breezeway acting like this there was many times when i would check on her and my heart would drop but then. I would realize she was still alive and breathing. I just hope she's not suffering to much i want to make sure she's as comfy as possible before she passes if and when she does.
She kind of shivers or something, she trys to keep her head still whenever I try moving it, last night I put a little bit of water in her beak with a syringe, and she resisted quit a bit she didn't shake her head away but she was just holding her beak tight and she kept trying to push her head back towards the ground. I wish I could show videos of her but I don't have a youtube thing or any video sharing platform that I use and I don't think I'd be allowed to make one either.
Hopefully I was able to write everything in a way that you all understand what's going on. I am terrible at explaining things, at least I feel like i am half the time.
It's rediculisly hard to find the right information on things related to chickens sometimes, it's sooo frustrating, yesterday I spent about an hour trying to find information of aspiration pneumonia in chickens and how to make a gavage tube at home for chickens but I could barely find any results related to what I wanted.
I let her eat a little bit of wet down all flock pellets and gave her some water earlier today at feeding time.
