I was so worried about Emerald that I went back to the vet today and asked for antibiotics for her. I am afraid to leave it any longer as she is just not getting better and seems more lethargic.<\/p>\n

The vet gave me seven days of tylan which is a powder.<\/p>\n

When I got back Emerald was in a dust bath which I thought was a good sign but then we noticed her feet were trembling. I think she is getting weak because she isn’t eating enough.<\/p>\n

I coated some sunflower hearts with olive oil and sprinkled them with a little of the tylan. We put Emerald in the separate part of the run. Once she had eaten the seeds I added a dish of tuna and a dish of mash both sprinkled with seeds and corn. I put a water dish in and a plate of chopped grapes.<\/p>\n

I dropped bits of grape in front of her and she ate four grapes and there are another four grapes on her plate.<\/p>\n

Emerald has a buffet to try to tempt her<\/p><\/div>\n

Emerald ate a little from each dish then started gaping again. My husband thinks it hurts her throat to eat and that is what is putting her off eating. Once she had eaten and gaped for a bit she settled to doze.<\/p>\n

I managed to get a photo of her gaping today.<\/p>\n

I am so worried about her and really hope the antibiotic will help her. I will try to get her to eat anything to get her strength up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
