Wet Avian Pox?

[casportpony]

I just tried feeding some fluids and only got 20ml in before it came back up. Her crop is soft and squishy. I should have done fluids before feedings to start. I've read that now in other posts. She's gotten 4 60ml syringes of feeding since Tuesday afternoon. And had one huge poop yesterday. Should I just try small amounts of fluid every couple hours today?

Do just fluids until she starts pooping. Try less more often if that works better for her.

This is the poop she just had. I haven't been able to give her anything today. She can be so stubborn!!! I can't get a tube in her.

That looks nice and wet.

It is and its the size of my hand. It has a slight green tint to it and she looks so much better. Her eyes are clear and she doesn't have mucus in her mouth anymore. But she still isn't interested in eating or drinking and she will not let me get a tube in her. She was shaking her head and pecking me so bad I couldn't even get her mouth open!

Is she in a crate? If so, it sounds like she's holding her poop the way they do when on a nest. Might do her some good to spend some time in the yard or a bigger cage.

I have her in a large metal dog crate. Like I did when she was recovering from the attack. She pooped in it then but she has pooped both times when out so maybe she feels differently this time. She's also molting so she looks a hot mess! Lol

Managed to get 25ml of fluid into her with my brother holding her before some came back up. He even noticed that she is fighting this more. Her crop seemed much smaller than earlier but things are still moving really slow. Should I restrict everything for 24hrs and start over?

Try just 10 ml of fluids every few hours as long as her crop is clearing.

It was 7 hours since the last feed. How fast should she be clearing?

How much has it gone down since the last feeding?
