Try to get him to eat egg yolk and drink undiluted nutri drench. He needs to eat. Mealworms are also a calorie boost.

Thank you!! I just cooked a yolk for him and he is gobling it up!! The most he has eaten in days!!!! Even more than the meal worms!!!

They love egg yolk! The greenish poop means he's starving, try to feed him yolk a couple of times today. Then see if he'll eat mealworms. If he's not eating mealworms, shove a handful, one at a time into his beak.

If you don't have nutri drench, try to get him to take some make syrup or honey diluted with water. Or watermelon? Once he's eating he'll start feeling better.

I had one do something similar. I used apple cider vinegar on the back of his neck in addition to washing his eyes for a few days and he got right back to normal. I tried the ACV because I had heard (can't remember where) that it helps to drain infection away from the head. Can't say if that's exactly what it does, but it does seem to help with head/respiratory issues.

Wow! That's amazing!

Yeah it only took him two days to get better so definitely keep trying what the others are suggesting to get yours to eat. Hope he gets better.
