I will call the vet first thing in the morning. I am going to the store to buy her the sardines in water (no salt), worms, and grubs for her in a minute. I will also make the mash, I was about to ask about that anyways (mindreaders

). I really hope she isn't getting sick again. I just want my girl to get better, and so do you guys obviously!

Yes we do. try mixing some of these treats in with a little mash and see if that will entice her to eat some feed. Let us know as soon as you can what the vet says. Hugs to you and Quackers, prayers too.

I will give her hugs from everyone when I wake her up to feed her in a little while :).
Off to the store!!!
When I put the oats in he water to let them soak to get the nutrients, do I leave the oats in the water for her to eat or let the soak then take them out and just let her drink the water?

See if she will nibble on the oats. At this point, anything somewhat nutritious that she will eat would be encouraging.

I use poultry vitamins. Some folks, in a pinch, use poly-vi-sol without iron. I don't know how much, though.

She ate 20 butter worms and about 10 baby night crawlers. I will call the vet fist thing tomorrow morning and feed her some more worms. I will also make her some fresh yogurt water and try the oatmeal water.

wow.  She is eating.  seems to want protein.  That makes sense.

I can't get her to eat anything else but I guess it's a lot better than nothing. She drank about a cup of the yogurt water last night. I am going to call the vet in about 30 minutes.

I called the vet and talked to Dr. Whittington (The avian specialist two hours away) and he said to collect a stool sample from Quackers to take to the vet clinic in town to have a stool analysis to check for parasites. I would feel really bad if she did have parasites because it is my job to protect her even from little parasites!

She is currently laying on a plastic bag in her cage to collect the sample. Poor thing...
