Fluid therapy is not as scary as it may look & as scm mentions definately warm the fluids first

Thanks for addressing the teeth chewing, god it awful. It sounds like she is chewing something plastic
Do you think the SubQ will help her eat. I'm concerned that she won't last much longer without food. The most I can get into her is about 20-30 ML a Day, and that's not enough to keep a bird alive not alone a cat
I don't want to wait too long before I have to go with a feeding tube and the force feeding is exactly that force feeding
