No I haven't seen any significant improvement. I have bathed her with flea and tick shampoo and Sevin 5% dusted her. I am forcing her to drink vitamin water and yogurt. I have tried eggs with yogurt but, it is really had to get anything in her. I brought her meal worms yesterday and she was excited about them but, she seemed to be having a really hard time focusing. When I first discovered she was sick she felt like she had a really high fever. I am worried because, of that she has received some neurological damage or some eyesight loss. We have one roo that was born almost blind and she was acting with the meal worms the way he acts when we try to feed him a treat. I ended up force feeding her some because I know she needs something in her.

Last night when I went down before bed she seemed to be having a really hard time holding up her head and he breathing seemed shallow. I am a little nervous to go down this morning, I really don't think she is with us anymore. I am just not ready to go down and find that she has passed away. It kills me if I hadn't been so stupid and noticed the signs a little more maybe I could have saved her. I noticed about two days before I knew what was wrong that her comb was looking flushed and very droopy. I could just kick myself for not have doing a thorough inspection of her when I noticed that.

Anyway I will update in a little bit. I really hope I get down there and she is looking better.

I know it probably sounds bad but, at this point if she isn't gonna get better I hope she peacefully passes and soon. It is feeling long and dragged out with no improvement. I know she is suffering and as much as I want her back, I don't want her in pain.
