Hi everyone!
Me again. Once again, I'm a tad worried about Ginger. She is showing a bit of weird symptoms for the last two to three days.
1. Not eating. She is usually a hog and eats as much as she can fit, but lately she's been so distracted she won't even eat from my hand and she walks right over her food when I put her near it.
2. Extremely active. I've been taking her out daily which usually calms her down, but she doesn't seem to calm down. She walks everywhere like she's being chased, all frantic-like.
3. Blinking. She keeps getting dirt in her eyes and it seems to bother her more than usual. Now, even after soaking, there is a little bit of bubbles in the corners of her eye.
4. Pooping very little. She also hardly ever poops big chunks anymore. Always little teensy bits. I soak her and have given her pumpkin to see if it loosens her up, but it doesn't seem to. However, she doesn't seem to have to push and push to get it out, it just plops out. I just don't know why it's so small all of the sudden!
Nothing has changed in her cage with the exception of a flat rock instead of a bowl for her food. I wanted it to keep her beak and nails shorter. She's had the new rock for about a week and she had just started to get the hang of eating off of it, but now she seems to have forgotten how to eat entirely!
Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!
