don't get to upset you tried. but sadly they tend to be very sick by the time they are showing that level of illness. we have lost two bird to a similar condition one put down the other found dead. both were my sons pets. strangely the little red hens don't seem to suffer the same problems.

Sorry you lost your old girl, but very glad the end came peaceably at home.
