Food in crop this morning so back on the metoclopramide.
She picked at breakfast which was good. Still losing feathers but it has at least slowed down; she is working on her hair at the mo, and I think her tail is going to be next.
I've been poorly the last few days, so I had to catch up a bit today and nipped out to do some shopping. I came home armed with various bits n bobs for Lola to try, as this not eating/losing weight is worrying me silly. Pureed baby fruits- not interested, organic yogurt- not interested, this morning she was picking about in the cat bowl, although it was empty...so I bought some posh cat food for her to try- one of those all fish/vegetable/natural kinds...now I will point out that I am not really an advocate of feeding cat/dog food to birds as a general rule (mostly because I know what goes into it- lets face it, that is where my hens were headed had they not been rescued), however on this occasion she did pick out a couple of bits of fish- result! Desperate times call for desperate measures!
I tried her with some cauli leaves- quite a lot of interest...I had bought some spring greens...still lots of interest so I brought out the chinese leaf (they often have this hung up in the run) OMG, major interest! I hung some leaves up around the kitchen door handle and Lola ate constantly for about 45mins!!!! AMAZING! (Picture to follow!) Just when I thought it couldn't get much better, I put the girls into the run with their tea- scrambled egg- and Lola started tucking in to that as well...not a massive amount, but it's a start :-)
No egg
Happy Mama
