Yesterday, she seemed fine, other than a little weak. Today, she's limping. I can't see anything that might be hurting her. No wounds or mites that I can tell. She was eating food off the ground, but that's all I've seen her eat or drink other than the yogurt I gave her. She just got over a case of Coccidiosis a few weeks ago. She's also sneezing and her voice was raspy. There was nothing in her crop until I got yogurt in her. Her eyes look clear and bright. She's four years old or so. What could be going on?

She seems reluctant to walk. Herright foot is always out in front of her. It's like she can't put weight on it. Her balance also seems off.

I have her inside, she been partially standing or laying down. I gave her some rosemary, scrambled eggs, and yogurt, which she ate. I syringed water into her beak.
 
She's just been standing low to the ground looking fluffed up. She doesn't want to walk much, but isn't limping as much. Her chest still sounds gurgly. Her crop still had a little bit in it this morning.
 
I’m so sorry. I haven’t been online much lately. Have you checked for injury? She’s really favoring the right foot. Also, in the first picture, I’m wondering if I see little chunks of lash egg? Or maybe her poops are just watery because she isn’t eating enough.
For starters, I would offer her warmth and poultry vitamins in her water. Examine that favored leg and foot and report back, if you can.
