My bird not eat properly due to infaction and poop is black

Hello,
I have female ringnack parrot, since two days she not eating, doctor gave her O2 syrup and advice to give her ORS 2 to 3 time a day, what should I do to make her feed,

Hi,

Offer her anything she likes and put it close to her to encourage her to eat. Call the Vet – the Vet may need to feed her with a tube. She can’t go more than a couple of days without eating anything.

Take care,

Brenda
