Sick cockatiel won't eat.... Suggestions?
I own a 5 year old female Lutino cockatiel who is sick at the moment. It all started yesterday morning when my mom noticed that she was more fluffy than the usual and was sitting at the bottom of her cage looking kind of sleepy. I took her into the house and sat her on the couch when a couple of minutes later she started doing some weird movements with her head, which was followed by vomiting. My dad and I took her to the vet and he gave her Baytril inj. (per mL) and gave me some to give her once in the morning and once at night for ten days. After that she looked a lot better, but she didn't want to eat or drink any water. I took her to the vet today again and he said that she is looking way better than yesterday, and he said that if she didn't want to eat that I should buy her some of that hand feeding mix that they use to feed baby cockatiels. I did, but when I try to feed her she just tried to spit the food out and I'm getting really scared that she might die. I was able to force her to drink a little water and she ate some Export Sodas crackers that she liked, but she practically hasn't had any food in 2 days!!! If she won't eat any seeds or the mix thing, what else can I feed her? I need help, please. Thank you.
