Sick Leghorn. Help?

[Kiki]

Guys would a vet visit be worth it if I can get her there in a hour????

Can you afford it?

They may be able to help her.
It may be too late.

If you can afford it...take her.

I am away from home currently and will act as quickly as I can when I get back. If she dies I'll still keep responding so I know what to do in the future. I also really need to know what happened so I can detect it in the future.

Once birds stop eating and drinking on their own they are usually VERY sick.
They are good about hiding illness.

What do you mean you did this before?
Did what...gave antibiotics?

we've given her antibiotics before and she got better but she's worse this time and I don't know if it would work this time

It's a lot of money.

would it save her???

Impossible to say. But you are running out of time, so you need to get her to a vet, or get her inside where it's warm, get her warm, then get warm fluids into her. It's quite possible that nothing can save her.

ok I'm trying to get her some fluids. I can't afford to get her to a vet. I'm hoping for the best

Did you get the aquarium tube yet? If so, be sure to melt the end that gets inserted so that the edges aren't sharp. I use a lighter.

Once you get her warm you should also check her for lice and mites. Whatever you do, DO NOT bathe her as that will almost certainly kill her.

Actually once I got her warm she started drinking but she's still not eating :/

She still needs more fluids.
