Sick Bird

Update 2: I gave her some nutri-drench and then gave her a break from all the bother.
Yesterday she seemed much improved moving around more normally and showing interest in the scratch. She also got all into a tomato like it was a revelation so I figured we were on the mend.
This morning, although still showing interest in the food, she’s slowed down a bit and the crop is starting to swell back up.
I’ll have a go at coconut oil again although she doesn’t like it and it was all I could do to get her to take any when we tried Friday.
If anyone has any further input I’m open to it.No biggee if not, just felt the need to vent it all here. It’s frustrating to see her struggling and not be able to help.
I would treat her for sour crop as described in the article linked previously and below for your reference.
It's also a good idea when a bird has a crop issue to give soft food(s). Eliminate the scratch, wet feed is what I give mine and a treat of egg.
Sometimes, caging them and withholding food for a day may also be necessary as well (always have water available).
