Chronic ailment in pet bird. Please help.

We have 6 adopted female finches (2 of the birds came last year and were fighting with the other quieter birds). My favorite bird, who was always moody, stopped talking, then developed difficult breathing since then. I was busy and couldn't observe much. But the past month, I see she is eating a lot, pooping a lot (poop and urine looks normal to me)I caught her and saw the lower abdomen is distended completely stretching the skin, lost all feathers over swelling, skin looks darker there than her sister's who is in perfect health. I feel she became weak from laying too many eggs. She is close with another female bird, but also wants affection from everyone (doesn't get). She is very nice and helpful in nature, but cranky and depressed at times. She used to be very cheerful, curious and loud in past. Swelling has been constant and she breathes through her mouth on flying a little (falls down after flying a little). They are all free to fly within the apartment. She always sits by the window, which has a little mold no matter how much I clean it. She eats a lot of grains. I didn't give them greens for a while, which could have caused some deficiency. The swelling seems like there is fluid inside and I suspect the egg which was not formed correctly could have leaked inside. I have been adding multivitamins for the past 2-3 weeks, and have been giving echinacea tea. She is talking a little and breathes better (still uses her chest muscles to breathe), but not improved much. She is trying to be normal and looks like she is planning to lay more eggs, which I don't want to. I will be going to my parents' home for a long time soon and my husband hasn't much time at home. And she got very stressed out when I caught her and didn't eat much the whole day and slept a lot. So I will be grateful if someone can prescribe one or fewer high potency homeopathy medicine. She is a very small bird, fatter and paler than the others and at least 4 years old (like middle age). Her legs look redder and seems to bow a little. She was always afraid to take a bath when all others bathe often. I have also deep cleaned everything and put diatomaceous earth in their nests and feed thinking it was parasites. It hasn't helped. She doesn't have cough or any discharge. Now it is winter here and I can't get her fresh air. She doesn't eat the greens she used to love. Thanks in advance.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
please give her three doses of secale 30c at a gap of 4 hours for one day (not daily, only one day) and see how she responds in the next 10 days. You may also give her 1 pellet each of natrum sulph 6x and ferrum phos 6x twice a day from next day onwards.

Thanks, Dr. Kadwa. I just ordered them. My husband has agreed to give them to her as I will not be here. I will keep you updated.

Dr.Kadwa, My husband gave them 1 month back, but there was no visible improvement. He took her to the vet and she drained some fluid out. It accumulated again and she had one more tap. Here's the report: Current- enrofloxin and metacam once daily
has enough for about 2 weeks.
19 grams pre tap, 18 grams post tap. Fluid was dark brown in color again.
Tapped low on left side of abdomen, and fluid continued to leak out after tap.
Removed approx 1- 1 1/2 ml of fluid, most was in gauze square. Can palpate a
large mass in cranial abd today- prob liver. This is most likely neoplasia
induced fluid, and not egg yolk peritonitis. Continue to drain fluid every 2 weeks, unless she needs it more often. Continue meds always.
The vet thinks it is liver cancer. Is there any natural treatment? I don't want her on antibiotics forever and I think tapping frequently will stress her too much. Thanks!
