Hello. Our 15 year old hen developed sour crop after a run of antibiotics we gave her for an infection. This has been going on for about 5 days. every day she is getting weaker. I've tried several time to 'burp' her, but have only had success 1 time getting anything our of her (mostly yellow goop, with a little food mixed in} she has a lump about the size of a lemon still in her crop. I have given her Epsom salts, (3 days) tomato juice (1 DAY) unsweetened yogurt with pro-biotics everyday, and have just started her on a product 'recover 911' that has electrolytes, probiotics and prebiotics and oregano. Does anyone have a suggestions for us? The vet is unable to see her for 3 weeks! She will not make it 3 weeks. This chicken is a beloved pet that lives with us. Any help will be so appreciated. She does perk us (eyes open, looks around) after I give her a dose of the 911 or yogurt for a short bit she is so weak she can't stand. Thank you
