I totally agree, you couldn’t just leave her out there. At least she is warm and loved.
I’ve sat up half the night, holding dying lambs in my arms. Warm and loved, just couldn’t leave them outside.

I'm amongst kindred spirits, here.

You're doing all that you can.

Last night when I checked Esther I opened the crate door, reached in to touch her. She made a little squawk, turned around. I left her alone.

She was a little more alert this morning, sat on my lap quietly, looking around a little, but resisted me opening her beak, good. I got another .1 ml dose of Corid in her, but she resisted me syringing water. I like that. So, I offered her the cup of water, and she DRANK. A LOT. Very good.

I'm going to offer Esther a little scrambled eggs in a few minutes.

To be continued.

That's encouraging! I hope she ate some egg for you.

That's awesome. I hope she continues to improve!

I was just doing a little research on using Corid. After you finish the full treatment you should give vitamin B supplements. I'd never heard that before and I've never had any issues. But, just wanted you to be aware of it. Evidently it mimics and suppresses vitamin b absorption and that's what kills the coccidia, they need the vitamin b to live.

Esther's not doing well, won't eat, will only drink if I stick a cup of water under her head. She won't move, either.

Pretty Esther, how can I help you feel better?

She could have gotten something in the leaf mixture that made her sick/poisoned her? You may never know...
