Big Black is 4-6 years old. May 1st I found her in the nesting box breathing weird and her mouth looked wet. I removed her and isolated her. I gave her food and water, she was not interested. I checked to see if she had sour croup and I was unable to tell. To be safe, I gave her monistat 3 twice per day for 4 days. Her croup is not filled at the moment.

She is unable to stand and will try to move using her wings and head. She still has not had any food or water and it has been 9 days. She does not want eggs, mealworms, or any other treat. I checked her to see if she was egg bound 6 days ago and nothing. I also checked her for water belly.

I did an exam and do not see anything wrong with her. Her eyes and healthy and she is otherwise alert. I have her propped up so she is more comfortable. Not sure where to go from here...
 
It sounds like a vitamin deficiency, what I do is make a smoothie with lots of vitamin-rich foods or get a vitamin supplement and syringe the smoothie or water mixed with a vitamin supplement into their beak for a while until they start to walk again.

here are the vitamins I use.
Thank you so much. I have nutri-drench. I just gave her some of that against her will.
