So Puff is down to 291 grams as of today. After discussing this with Don from The Chloe Sanctuary, I'm going to do a 1/1 ratio of medication and water dilution to slowly find her baseline and try to help get her appetite up.

Well it's day 5 and she is still not eating very well at all, her weight is down to 305 grams and I'm not sure what to do. I give her some of Calypsos hand formula each day and even that she's not eating much of. She's only eating two of her normal 4-5 cashews per day and no veggie or grain chop and no fruit. She still hasn't chewed her her feathers though and us choosing to just hang out in her cage today.
