hello.
my cockatiel was fairly recently diagnosed with inflammation of the bowel. the vet said she should get apple cider vinegar in her drinking water for about 3 weeks. i've been following that.
however, today i noticed that she cannot poop, and her anus is "full" of poop. she tried to do poop thrice, but i only heard air/gas releasing from her bowel and saw no poop. i have called the veterinarian for help, but sadly i cannot bring my cockatiel to the clinic since i don't have a car. only tomorrow i could, and they're not sure can they visit me so far away today.
does anyone have any idea what i could do to possibly make her better? i tried to spray a bit of warm water on her to help relax muscles but it did nothing. when she stops moving around she just fluffs up and looks really sleepy.
she is 3 year old female, so i suppose eggbinding is possible. this would be her first egg. i will be taking her to the clinic tomorrow if the vet cannot visit today, but i really would want to know is there anything i could possibly do in the meanwhile.
