I need urgent help please.

Good video. Sorry she is so sick.The photo and description of giving water by force is the best ever. It is not easy. She looks like she is having trouble breathing. If she is like that I do not think she will take food or water willingly. Best wishes.
 
Can you get a tube? Syringing her while she is breathing like that is very dangerous because she is more likely to inhale the fluids. Syringing the proper amount also takes too much time and really stresses the birds. Did you actually watch all of the videos?

Then these:
Crop feeding videos

These are using a crop needle, not a plastic tube.

This one uses a tube like I use
 
She looks like she could be too warm. What's the temp where you have her? She really looks rough, but that doesn't mean you should give up on her.
it's not that hot , only her comb is hot , but the rest of her body is normal , her wattles are cold and her face too , I'm not giving up on her , but there's nothing more I can do than to keep her hydrated , the cup of electrolytes is still half full so I'm still giving it to her every couple of hours .

I don't think I can do this on my own + lack of experience , I could definitely kill her . :( giving her water is already a challenge for me , but feeding her like that is very risky . :(
 
Lots of great advice herez. I see the video now and that she is awake. When was the last time she:
-Ate?
-Pooped?
-Drank?
-Laid?

Liquid intake and pooping are top concerns. I wonder if she lost a lot of blood and her body needs to make some more? Thinking protein might help. Do you have sardines? My girls love them as a treat.
If it is due to blood loss, it could take some time before she is back to normal. She is lucky to have you and the care you are providing for her. Best of luck and give yourself a pat on the back for doing such a good job caring for her.
 
well, she needs a chicky blood transfusion. LOL Short of that the rooster booster or poly-vi-sol I mentioned. Bleeding for half hr. is a lot of blood and why her comb is pale. I know with humans vitamin K thins the blood like in greens and I dont know what else so avoid those things for a while if she survives the night. In the am get these vitamins.
Talk to @casportpony about tubing the liquids for now. I wouldnt worry about food at this point but she must stay hydrated. After she gets over this hump of being anemic then we can figure out her feet . Thats the best I have for you. I hope she survives . good luck and God speed.
No offense, but we use vit k to reverse the effects of blood thinners in the hospital, in other works, vit k helps blood clot. So vit k may help if she is continuing to bleed.
 
I'm sorry she is not doing well :hugs

It looks like you have received some good suggestions. I agree that she is very pale and sick. Keeping her hydrated would be the first thing to do. It sounds like she lost a lot of blood. You can add just a little sugar to her water. For a boost - if you have beef liver or heart, you can give her a little of that, but getting water into her is important. Egg or fish would be good to go along with her normal feed as well.

Please keep us posted.
Beef liver would give her iron that she could poop out if she doesn't need it.

Only problem is that if she is dehydrated she should not be force feed.
From laferber: "The bird should be warm and hydrated prior to tube feeding"
A healthy five pound bird needs no less than 115 ml of fluids per day. :(

no offence taken . I am going by what drs. tell me. I am on blood thinners and need to stay away from greens . Kale , ect...
