crop stasis

I have a pigeon that is about 15 - 17 days old, I found it on the floor in our loft. I have hand reared lots of birds, and never had as many problems as with this one. When I first started feeding, it was severely dehydrated, 3 days after I started caring for it, it was a healthy, chirpy...

Well today Juliet (our white ringneck dove) was being awfully quiet - and slowly during the day has become more and more lethargic and puffy :( I have a 1 pm appt with my vet tomorrow but am wondering if anyone has any suggestions of what I could do (if anything) to make her more comfortable...
