Soak her bottom in some warm water to clean it up as much as possible. Discontinue feeding any fruits or vegetables until her droppings are normal. Feed a commercial pelleted mix (Harrison's, RoudyBush, Pretty Bird or Exact) and a small amount of a fortified seed mix. Submit a sample of the droppings to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites. Clean the cage thoroughly and sanitize the bowls, perches and toys. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Keep Bobalina warm and as stress free as possible. If the symptoms persist or worsen, have her physically examined by your vet to diagnose and treat illness or injury.
