It is normal for a bird not feeling well to display an amazing demonstration of health around its flockmates. This is for self-preservation, as the flockmates will attack a bird not behaving normally.
I have found that picking a treatment and sticking with it for 2 or 3 days before adding something else usually works best for our flock.
I think Ming Ming would be better off in isolation, so she can relax and heal and you can keep a better eye on her. Put her water and food right under her nose. Work with her to eat and drink. Use a needle-less syringe or dropper to put vitamins by the side of her beak, instead of putting them in the water.
Try to get her to eat some yogurt, applesauce, or chopped egg yolk alone or mixed with her feed. A little tumeric mixed in her yogurt will help boost her immune system. Instead of the cat food, you can try to tempt her with tuna, salmon or mackerel. Just a note, whenever you change something in her diet, it will change the look of her droppings.
Please keep us posted.
