Help! Zebra finch is ill!

[Howldaloom]

Hi,

I have a breeding pair of zebra finches, They have just hatched out 5 chicks and 1 egg still to go.

My hen started showing signs of illness last week, She is VERY fluffed up and has the skwits. She is pooping pure liquid.

I have removed all greens for now and she is just on seed. I am going to give her some cold black tea to drink to try fluch what ever it is out her system.

I dont dare seperate her from her chicks but what can i do to help her? Is there something i can give her?

Try spark to help build her up. Others might have some more suggestions. Good luck.

What is spark? I have read somewhere that a few drops of pepto-mismol will help her.

Might buy some n try her on that

Spark's an electrolyte replenisher, It's made by an Australian Company, so very possibly not available in the UK.

That's Spark, Try and note down some of the Constituents and bring that to a good pet shop, and see what they can give you ;)
