Thanks for reaching out about Furball. If she is that sick , she needs to visit a veterinarian, ASAP. Small birds have few energy reserves and once start showing illness, illness is significant. Heat support, assisted fluids and food are important, but are not a cure. If there a chance of metal ingestion such as zinc or lead? These considerations are identical to those mention with heavy metal toxiciity. Good luck.
