Anti-fungal for sour crop.

[Gigi1983]

Hi—dealing with sour crop as well and wondering how your hen is doing. Also wondering what kind of probiotics and digestive enzymes you use—are they specific for poultry or just any kind? Thanks for any help!

Hi. I'd give her 2-3mls of garlic water (cloves blended up in water) every 2-3 hours and leave some kefir out for her to eat freely. If no improvement after 3 days of this treatment I'd get a prescription for Fluconazole from the vet. This will do the trick provided there's no blockage past the crop. Dose is 20 mg per kg bodyweight. Some give once a day, some give it every 2nd day. Withhold pellets until she clear. Human digestive enzymes are fine. Give her 1/4 to half a tablet daily crushed and mixed into her kefir. Cellulase should be included in the enzymes as it helps break up grass in the event there is some sort of a grass blockage at play which is often the case.
