Hello everyone. I apologize for the only times I find the time to post anything anymore is when I have an emergency. So with that I give you my latest attempt at ignorance possibly is going to wind up with a dead chick.
I have an ancient sewing box. Woven reeds or baboo shoots are what it's made of. It has started falling apart. This caused a spool or piece of thread to be accessible to my babies in the living room.what drew me to the scene was my other living room babies shrieking in fear. I came out to find one just outside the pen jumping back and pulling like a fish caught on a line. I calmly picked her up and proceeded to assess the situation. She had evidently swallowed up the end of string and was unhappy and scared. I saw no other choice but to slowly pull the string out. It came out about a foot of it maybe 18 inches. Finally I got to where it no longer came out easily. I gave my best and then I didn't jerk but pulled a little harder and out came a chunk on the end. I t bought, aw I don't want to look at it in case it's his little throat came out. Luckily my husband saw it and determined it to be a feather! We watched her for a bit and she ate and drank but she made a little mewing noise that I chalked up to being scared and going through a tough time. I held him/her. I heard wheezing. Today she just wants to rest but I see her mouth breathing and I'm scared. I tried to keep her hydrated but can't get her to eat or drink. I'm wanting to give her some salt water rinse orally to try treating any swelling in throat but not feeling very competent. Please help.
