Pea Hen not eating

[Laura Charleston]

Hi,

We have a Pea Hen who isn't eating and hasn't done for a week or so now. We've been orally feeding her with a syringe; she will not eat on her own and is continuing to lose weight. She appears to be searching for food and seems keen with engaging in foraging behaviours, although she isn't actually eating on her own.

Could anybody help? What could we do in order to help more?

Thanks

Welcome to BYC! Can you take her to a vet? Can you post pictures of her and some of her poop?
