Well she is sill with us!!! Although her crop isn't emptying by morning. I was old to feed her bird formula ( kaytees) which I have done. But she is still vomiting a little. Mainly when I massage her crop she bring stuff up
this only started happening yesterday. She is bright and always excited to see me LOL. She preens herself when I put her in the sun and is still shaking that neck trying o get it right.
Yesterday I thought maybe she has sore ears?? The way she was shaking her head made me think this. I checked them and they look ok on the outside.. Could ear problems explain why her head is still tilted???
Apart from these small things she is one tough chicken... She is taking small steps forward now although she sill walks in circles.. She is growing new feather all over and if I try to help by pulling the shedding off she starts preening lol... I just need to help her with this crop
I picked her up yesterday and she vomited -Also when I massage her crop she brings it up... Poor girl she's been on such a long path to recovery. But she hasn't given up yet!!!!!

I still wonder if her neck is twisting the WRONG way- not sure if she would pull it the wrong way but that's what it looks like. When she shakes her head trying to get it right she tilts and pulls it to the side and back towards her tail. Hopefully I'm wrong and it is just taking time to shift lol- over 4 months now this journey as been going. I must be doing something right as my girl is sill ALIVE- omg that still amazes me. I must admit I do think sometimes if by treating and feeding and persevering has been the right thing to do. ( I still don't know this answer) but I promised Licorice at the beginning if her illness I would do whatever I could to help her.. And I haven't given up... She is a different chicken to what she was those first few months although she isn't back to normal just yet.. She has stolen my heart and has tried her hardest I'm sure to beat this.. She has gone up & down and has let me push pills down her throat, force feed her via syringe, bath & dry her ( hair dryer) massage her ALL over, stretch her neck and make her hold it LOL ( a bit like physio) and she hasn't complained once. Oh and she even wore a horrid haircut for a long while... ( hehe) she is covered in new feather and let's me help shed the skin off them as she can't.. She has had every vitamin known to man and has had many different foods fed o her, eating every bit regardless.. She is now on bird formula only, and seems to not like it much, but eats the lot.. Since feeding this she hasn't vomited as much and it seems to have helped with her crop emptying by morning. She is no longer on ANY medication , just the formula..
