Help!

I need your expertise. My 5 month old favorite girl is lethargic. I noticed yesterday she just wanted to puff up and sleep. Brought her into the house and have been hand feeding and watering. She has no energy. There is nothing around her eyes or beak, vent is clean. Not laying yet so I don’t think it’s an impacted egg. Don’t think it’s crop related, feels normal though I don’t know what I’m really feeling for. Compared it to my other girls and doesn’t seem abnormal. Stuck a Qtip down her throat and came out clean, not sure if I’m not sticking it down enough but don’t want to hurt her... gapeworms? Poo switches between totally normal and very watery... gasping randomly but not gasping for breath or anything like not wheezing. Would love suggestions, my 3 year old is in love with her, as am I, and I feel so helpless. Vet around us isn’t an option unfortunately

This could be a sign of many different illnesses.

I would give her electrolytes and vitamins with garlic and ACV, and see how she goes. Is she eating and drinking?

Thanks for your help I have been alternating between Gatorade and some Water with oregano. She’s eating a bit, definitely not a normal amount, but eating. I feel like she is missing telltale signs of anything significant... it’s so hard

I think you need to work your way down a list of common illnesses and see if you can identify the most likely.

I would also check her over throughly for injuries, any remaining mites or lice, and deworm.
