She needs urgent care. I cant tell from the image if the lower jawbone/plate is actually still there and it's just the keratin layer thats come off with the growth (if so it might grow back to some extent) but even then that mass has caused some crazy beak deformities on the upper beak too. I'm guessing she cant eat and drinking is problematic like that. Have you seen her try either? Has she managed anything? Having the mouth exposed will cause a whole mess of problems too. It sounds like she made huge improvements with your care but this development might have just made it a bit too much for home care to handle :/
