getting meds in her what ever works us great.
But to heal she needs real food. Eggs have vitamin e and B, protein. I don't know exactly what you are getting her to eat. Its hard I know, ive had a month journey with sick burds. And I know from experience they get weak and go down hill without real nutrition.
I don't know hard it is for you to towel her and syringe feed? Or if you have a scale and can out her in a box and weigh her?
Yes trying to let them eat favorite is good. But there is a line when you have to take things in hand to get food in tgrm. At 8 days she has run through her reserves, and definitely need food.
You dont give enough details fir me to truly understand what's going on.
So all I can advice, restrict her activity, provide warmth, if she isn't eating enough on her own, towel her and slowly syringe food into her a beak full at time, even if you get bit, or it makes her mad. Track her weight, so you know how things are going .
Is it because of beak damage that she won't eat her normal diet?
If she will eat seeds give her seeds. I just worry if only sugary foods are given, she needs, fiber, fats, protein, and more complex carbs, and nutrition to heal.
I know it's so stressful. We all want her to get better.
From my own experience, there came a time when food was more important than medicine. And the baby burd formula helped my burds do much, and you can put the meds in that since you already have to grab them and towel them.
She is going to get weaker and sleep more without food. This just happened a couple of weeks ago with me and my sick burd Penny. I only was getting a few bites in her till I switched to baby burd formula.
Yes she will get wonky and weakness without food.
How can I help? Any questions?
