Pikey Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm really sorry to have to say this but not eating or drinking isn't a very good sign.......can you tempt her with some grapes or when mine have been like this I have put some honey in water and dripped it into their beaks from my finger. Nutridrops which you can order from her is supposed to be good too. I would keep her in, in the warm and get her to a vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKH Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've tried her with sweetcorn and grapes (her favourites) but she's not interested i'll try syringing a little water into her. I'll keep her in the warm - thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathybc Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hope she is doing OK - I have found tuna can perk them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalin Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Try some mashed blueberries in a bit of warm porridge with nutri drops. I think blueberries are full of goodness for them when they're under the weather and generally mine can't resist porridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 mine think I am trying to poison them if I offer blueberries! Think she really needs to see a vet, esp as you won't be able to keep an eye on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
