I was on the phone a couple times with Susanne today, and also called BF about Holly. She just is not acting right, her stools are loose, and her crop has not emptied since her feeding this a.m. before 8. She stays hidden under her toys, and acts like a baby, every few seconds complaining, and shaking her wings if I am standing there. For about a couple hours this afternoon while out she appeared better, playing...but has now gone back to acting funny. Susanne and BF agree, that it is possible there is either yeast, or a low grade infection in her crop. I was given so much advice, my head got a bit foggy since I am so worried about her. I tried giving her just warm water with Bragg's ACV, but that did not go down well once she realized it was not formula, and she was choking and breathing funny, and her eyes turned red afterwards. Susanne told me to make a mix of garlic, cinnamon, ginger, and cut her formula with Gerber rice baby formula. Susanne also said, and BF agreed, that some plain yogurt could be added to the formula. My main and immediate problem is getting the crop to empty now. After giving the water and ACV, I did massage the crop gently. Should I continue doing this, or only after giving the water? I think if this situation is not better by tomorrow that I will call and take her to the CAV if I can get in.
I have to get ready, and go to a dumb Christmas party for a couple hours, but will be hitting the grocery store for the items I do not have. I just jumped out of the shower, will go get dressed, and check back before I leave. So if you can think of anything else before I go, please post it. Prayers and positive energy would help too. Thank you.
