Yesterday I noticed one of my “lavenders “ droopy, not active, not eating s usual. When I got to examine her, I notice she lost some weight. No respiratory problems, no mites, no injury. Waddle/comb still very red. She looks very 😞. This morning, I noticed green mushy poo . Everyone else is healthy and acting normal. I isolated her gave vits, added probiotics to her water. I will check the poo to see if there are worms. She doesn’t seem egg bound. Anybody With clues/suggestions?
 
No worming, not sure about crop. She free ranges and feed.
First thing would be to check her crop. If you know she hasn't been eating it should be flat and empty. If instead it feels hard it may be impacted or if it is puffy/squishy it may be sour. While you have you hands on her I would also feel her belly area between her legs and below her vent for any noticeable lumps, swelling, or squishiness.
 
I feel nothing in the crop. She’s lost weight, now very weak. Giving her water with vitamins but shes struggles to avoid. Ignores favorite foods

I'm sorry it sounds like she is very sick and there isn't much to be done. You can give her a little sugar water for energy and see if she perks up, but it may just be her time.
 
Thank you for your help. (I thought I sent this days ago!). But she is coming around I think still a lil slow but but eating and drinking . Still has diarrhea, watery green, will continue to monitor
