(**Sad Update**) SICK

[rocky'smom]

great news hope she continues to improve

 

[mindee77]

She is starting to clean herself but she gets tired really fast. She is breathing really hard once again with a rap rap sound. Over all she looks better. She is still fluffed up. I will take anything I can get. The one thing that worries me is I can't get her to drink since I got home. So right now we are cuddling.. I know its going to take a long time until she is back to herself.

I'm glad she still seems like she is improving. I hope her breathing starts to get better. She must be so happy to cuddle with you. Just keep water constantly close and hopefully she will drink some soon. Thanks for the update!

how's she doing?? Can you hold a spoon or small glass or water up for her to get a drink? Prayers continue..

[parrotluv]

Glad to hear she is doing better. If she is not drinking just make sure she receives some wet food to keep her hydrated

 

[mindee77]

She loves warm water. So I am always trying. Is milk OK to give to her?

 

[rockybird]

I wouldnt give her milk. Just keep offering water, but dont force it so she doesnt aspirate. You might try something with a high water content, such as half a grape. I had a vet tell me this was a good source of fluid for birds.

 

[mindee77]

OK are apples good? She loves them..

 

[JosienBB]

Birds are naturally lactose intolerant, so absolutely no milk or mac and cheese please. Apples are okay, but they're mostly just water and sugar...

Hope Phoenix feels better soon.

Edit: just read that you want to keep her hydrated, so yes, apples are good

[rockybird]

Yes I would think apples would be good. dolldid's suggestion sounds good too. Your little girl is beautiful!

 

[CeciliaZ]

She is beautiful!

 

[mindee77]

She was starting to chrip some. She also spent the whole night on her bed.. I had leave early today so I am hoping that my husband can get her to drink.

 

[Tiel Feathers]

She is so beautiful! What a sweet bird. I like that she's chirping, I bet that brought a smile to your face! Keep getting better little bird!

 

[rocky'smom]

she looks like my Rocky. so glad she is doing better

 

[SandraK]

Even if it's a drop of water off the tip of a finger it'll be something.

 

[mindee77]

My little girl is doing better finally.. Each day she looks better. She is not out of the woods but we are on or way.. I think I can relax and just enjoy her now.. She gets tired fast and sleeps a lot.. Her personality is coming back. She is not drinking how I want her too but we are working on it..
