Wings down, no activity

Force feeding can be dangerous because of the risk of choking and aspiration. I would offer wet feed and amprollium water up to her beak. The medicated water can go i some of the food as well. Did the tilted head and spinning in circles seem like wry neck or neurological symptoms?

It kind of did seem neurologic. But I have never seen her do that before.. At this point (830pm) her feathers on top of her head were wet, suggesting she was trying to drink. But she hasnt eatten nothing. Crop empty, barely holding her head up, and just not moving. She weights close to nothing, and just very floppy.... I tried a second recheck for mites over her entire body, as I just found mites on 2 of her flock mates ( id a full coop clean out and dusted all birds today) but even with a head to toe check, I still found nothing on her. I hope she poos sometime before I go to work so I can have her float fest done in the morning

You may want to learn to tube feed her, which takes a few minutes to give an entire feeding. Feeding tubes can be purchased from a vet or online, and you can temporarily use a secrion of aquarium air tubing from the fish aisle at Walmart or petstore with a 35 ml syringe from a feed store.

Float test showed nothing... But cool to see thru the micro scope. She was more alert this morning, looked loke she drank alot of water thru the night or morning.. Will have to do a better check in on her when I get home crom work. But jer head was up this morning and she looked peaceful, not drained. And she provided alot of poop for me to pick from for the float test.. Which suggests she is eatting on her own

So glad that the fecal float was normal, and that she is eating.

I saw her tonight really eatting good and wand than going for a drink. She was up amd walking, looking alert, than she just came to a halt and closed her eyes and just stood still. Her wings are still really down.. But. Its was great to see her moving around and feeding herself.
Keeping heat lamp on and in isolation with observation.
Took her off the corid, wondering if I should give her vitamins since I only had her on corid for 2 days?

 

[Eggcessive]

Yes, vitamins might help her and her appetite.

This was a great video. Just hope I never have to do it.. But wonderful knowledge to have

And I lost her last night.. I thought she was finally perking up before I went to bed.. But I went to see her this morning, and nothing... If this was a mite problem, which I still found nothing on her, and float test revealed nothing, I'm attacking the coop with a vengeance this week..
