My hayfever comes in the fall.

That should make it easier to track down since there are not as many things pumping out lots of pollen in the fall.

There is a lot of weeds the that pump pollen in the fall here. I believe the culprit is ragweed and golden rod.

What do you use as a dose and where do ya get yer honey?

There is a lady here locally that has hives in different areas to get the most local pollen. She sells at the Woodinville Farmers Market and out of a little shop just 15 min north of me and I can't seem to recall the name right now. MALTBY!!! That's it! Man I am losing it! My mind that is. Her honey is unfiltered, so it has all the good stuff in it. I don't have her name right now. Sorry. They say to use a teaspoon a day, but I tend to go over that since it tastes so good and I LOVE PB and honey sandwiches, or PB and Honey on toast. YUMMY!

I just had a 12 week old survive for 2 1/2 weeks. If you can feed her soft foods for a while that might be easier. She probably has enought meat on her for a little while, but make sure she stays hydrated.

Yes, they can get cocci. I am not thed one to ask for treatment advice but I am very very concerned that you are giving it warm water subcutaneously. Besides getting sterile saline or other injectable, it seems more harm than good to inject tap water into the bird. You're better bet giving it electrolytes by mouth. Could you try force feeding gatorade? Or pick up sterile saline (no additive) opth soln to inject?

Best of luck

I was unable to get sterile saline, last night, but I am hoping to get some today. The baby actually is a bit better (well sort of) this morning. I have not had the best of luck trying to force feed. I always seem to drown them. I have been "sort of" but getting some electrolyte water down her, by sitting her beak in my hand and eye dropping the fluid into my hand. I know that water is not great to do this with because it is not sterile, but I had someone have me do this before with a sick kitten - years ago - when I was unable to get saline solution.

Everyone else looks fine, they all came jumping out when I opened their pen - into their little run. I am concerned on how to treat her if she does have cocci, because she is already on medicated food.

Anyone - medicated food & Corid? Seems like too much.

She was very dehydrated.

Thank you for the help/advice. All information is appreciated.

Oooops silly me I didn't really look at the name just saw the avatar and thought it was broody who wrote that. I think yer pics used to be very similar.

Still all good info I was just wondering if it was any of the locals I know but not way up there. lol
