I was talking to my grandmother yesterday about Kamara and I told her she had still vomited after her meds, she told me "you gotta feed them the bird gravel" (which is the grit) and I told her she doesn't need that because she chews her food with her beak.
Then I looked into it and apparently grit can cause impactions, my grandmother had been feeding her grit for a while (can't give a time estimate of how long, I'd say a few years though) I'm worried this is her issue now and I'm going to talk to her vet when she goes about it

Hope Kamara is OK.
She has responded well to her meds , correct?

I've noticed her poops have been quite watery, there hasn't really been any fecal matter coming out just water and the white stuff. When fecal matter does come out it's long stringy and green.

I hope she's okay. Yes, definitely talk to your vet about her having been fed grit.

Lately (past few days) the child has been lacking energy. She just eats and sleeps even when the new toys I ordered were delivered.
She's developing a new bald patch on her chest from plucking which makes me very sad. Thankfully the vet appointment is on Friday

Today is the day Kamara finally gets to see a vet, I was looking at the reviews for her new vet and there were tons and they were all excellent. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of her issue(s?) quickly.
