It's nice to have her in a separate area just so it's easier for her to rest. Now that you've identified an impacted crop, i wouldn't treat for cocci unless you see symptoms in other birds. It is a good idea to keep Corid on hand however.

good for you and her! I would keep doing that for the next day or two ( id do 2) with eggs and olive oil) to make sure it gets emptied for sure-then add regular wet food to the mix too-pasty like oatmeal with olive oil too congrats!

After a lot of crop massages, seems like her crop is softer and smaller than this morning.
But she is still fluffy.
I put her back in the cage and give a little rest.
I saw she was eating a little so I hope that's good sign.

Thats a great sign-she will be fluffy for another day or so0-needs to get her strength back up from rest and eating and drinking-wouldn'y hurt to put a little vitamins in her water if you have some on hand -poly-vi-sol no iron drops?

That's good. I will go out and buy poly-vi-sol.
Thanks!

***update #2***

I gave her olive oil (just little bit, I couldn't open her mouth so only a little) and gave crop massage.
She pooped. A small amount but most of it was fiber looking. Had solid green part and white part with a lot of water but not diarrhea.
After she pooped, she started jumping around, top of me, top of the cage and looked fine.
Then came back to me and all fluffed again.
I put her back to the cage and giving resting time.

I will continue massage and oil...

Yay! Congratulations! And sorry to have jumped to conclusions without checking all the options and leading you in the wrong directions. I'm so glad she's better!
