I wouldn't give her ibuprofen ( I read that it's bad for birds. )Well she just finished almost all of the egg yoke without me using dropper so I hope that's a good sign. When I think she might be getting better there's nothing. When she's in my lap she sits with her head up but when I put her back in cage her head goes back down again. I've put blanket in there and fix it to where it will prop her up but she starts moving around and back it goes. Do u know if I can give her any ibuprofen or anything like that? If so how much? I do have child meds as well, I have my grandbaby here a lot, she's 21months
I'm sorry I do not believe I would give this bird any type of pain medicine. I believe it needs food.I wouldn't give her ibuprofen ( I read that it's bad for birds. )
If you have aspirin then it should be alright to give her some.

@Kiki do you mind double checking this info?
You are much more informed than I am, thank you Kiki!I'm sorry I do not believe I would give this bird any type of pain medicine. I believe it needs food.
I personally have a problem with Willy Nilly pain medicine...for both animals and humans. Sometimes masking pain is not good.You are much more informed than I am, thank you Kiki!
No she's not able to peck at anything so I've been giving her all softIs she eating feed?
Ok I will do that as well, thank youIf you add anything to the drinking water, make sure to provide plain water too. That way the bird can choose to avoid the medicine, or electrolytes, or whatever else it is.
(Obvious exception for certain medicines that the bird must have. None of them apply here.)
You could also try her normal chicken food, with water added to make it wet and soft.No she's not able to peck at anything so I've been giving her all soft
