This is the link to the Duck Research Lab. Perhaps your vet can consult if this goes on without diagnosis?

Will she eat canned tuna or salmon? If so, maybe mixing some of her feed into it to disguise the taste/texture of the food, just to get some into her. Since she's eating fish she may...

First time to this vet and they were great but she really want sure if I should be giving her fish every day if that would be a problem while she is not eating her pellets. Kind of made me second guess just how exotic their experience was

I wonder though if the concern is more about the feeder fish from the pet store in case somehow that could be how she was exposed to some sort of bacteria/toxin ? I have no idea. . just a thought.

@Miss Lydia
Can you look at the last few pages and give us your thoughts?

Canned fish is actually good for cats, so I would imagine that another animal that eats fish could also eat it in reasonable quantities. I would lean more towards the salmon than the tuna as tuna is known to have heavy metals in it, but, a little here and there shouldn't be an issue, just if you have the choice I would choose salmon over tuna.

Obviously, you want fish packed in water, not oil or mustard or anything else that they like to can fish in, but it may be stinky and have enough flavor to get her attention.

This is the poop I found this morning

The receipt says fecal direct smear and fecal parasite exam and all were negative

I think a gram stain would be an additional charge. Call them and ask about gram stains.
