Extremely ill guinea hen. Very skinny and lethargic. HELP!

[Pastel the Rooster]

The hen is about to be a year old August 25th. She is very sweet, and loves attention. But not like this. I noticed that yesterday she was in the shade laying down. I thought that she was just laying an egg.

About 30 mins ago I went out and saw that she was laying down near the door of the coop. I've been out if town for the last week and have been back for two days.
I took her inside. I just soaked her in warm Epsom salt water, in case she is egg bound, but I couldn't feel any abnormalities in her.

she is very skinny, and is just laying down dozing off. Now she is standing, trying to sleep.
It has been VERY hot the past week. In the high 90's to low 100's. I'm holding that she is just severely dehydrated, but she has a sneeze.

She is still alert, but very light. I've not seen her drink the electrolight water I gave her about 10 mins ago.

Giving her sugar water now.

video of her laying in her bath.

I'm very worried about her.

Hi! Can you offer her raw yolk? Dip her beak into it. She needs to eat. Offer watermelon or anything else that she loves.

I gave her a raw chicken egg. She ate a little bit of the white and yolk.

That can't give her salmonella, can it? Giving her a raw egg?

Could she have the avian flu? She is sneezing, has lack if coordination, and has diarrhea. Those are symptoms of the flu, right?
I really don't want it to be the flu, or else all of my babies will die

No, it won't give her salmonella. Will she eat watermelon? Mine love it.

I have frozen watermelon? Will that work? I'm not sure if she likes it. I'll try to give some to her.

I don't know avian flu symptoms. Try to get her to eat and drink. it's most important.

All I have is watermelon skin/rind. I doubt she will want it. I'll try though.

Nope. She didn't want it. I left it with her though.
