Did you know that egg laying requires that they drink lots of fluids? Tubing fluids was definetly the right thing to do!

thanks for the info

I don't think she had anything I think the cold just got to her

I'm really glad everything worked out well. You certainly took good care of her!

This will be a good thread to reference in the future. I know many think I'm nuts for suggesting that people put their sick birds in a warm room and tube fluids, but this thread shows how effective it can be. I wonder how many more people could save their birds by doing the same? Hmmm...

shes doing great...when I opened the door she tried running out saying let me back into my flock...and she was clucking and everything...do you think I should put her out into the flock...or wait a couple more days...she is eating and drinking well now....

Maybe put her out in the daytime and watch her, but bring her back in at night?

You can, but why do you need to treat with Corid?
