I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. It broke my heart. I had worked on her for a solid 3-4 weeks. I do tend to agree with you. We had been battling it for a solid month. She had made leaps and bounds in improvements. About 3 weeks ago I thought she wasn't going to make it...

I gave it to her after the post and went out gardening. I came back and she had vomited and was dead. I believe she choked on her vomit 😢 It’s so sad.

Thank you very much! 🙂

I have a 150 mg Fluconazole tablet and I have a chicken with what I strongly believe is sour crop. Any idea how I would dose her this pill?

I am having the same problem. How did you end up treating your hen?

Thank you!!

Good morning backyard chicken friends! I wanted to share with you that our Duchess is significantly better this morning! She went a week without eating or drinking on her own. I was feeding her electrolytes and food through a dropper. She was gurgling and sometimes open mouth breathing. I...

I did read it. Yes, thank you. 😊 I do think that’s quite possible. But I’m still not 100%. I just don’t want to make her sicker in treating for the wrong thing.

I don’t have any on hand. She’s still making that sound but now getting up and moving more. We opened the cage door and she’ll walk out and walk around. She even pecked at the ground when we let her out with the flock for a bit yesterday. But she is not eating on her own. I am continuing to...

They will clear up on their own when they aspirate? Doesn’t aspiration from vomit typically cause pneumonia/infection? Does the rattling sound like aspiration? Or something else?

Thank you for continuing to try to help! 😊 She’s continuing to make the gurgling sound. We are feeding her critical care by ox bow to sustain her bc she’s not eating on her own. She will walk around slowly when we let her out of the cage, and even hold her tail up. But when we put her back in...

Thank you so much! I didn't realize that. My kids took this video of her this morning. She's in our garage, apart from the flock. Here she is....

Ok, finally. I had to send it from my phone to my computer in order to get it to send. Are you able to see it?

Thank you! So the gurgling sound is from the sour crop? Not from aspirating?

I’d love a treatment plan. As soon as I can get a video, I’ll post and y’all can chime in with feedback. I feel so bad for her. She doesn’t want to eat now and I’m sure it’s bc it’s hard for her to breathe 😔
