Early stages sour crop?

[DianeB]

Just talked to the vet. Her comb looks better but everything else is the same. The x-ray shows some fluid in her lungs and abdomen. Her blood work is good.
So afraid she won't make it.

Also alot of mineral deposits in crop and gizzard.

I do hope the vet will be able to help.

Are they planning on draining the fluid in the abdomen? Could be Ascites or Egg Yolk Peritonitis.

Interesting that there are mineral deposits in the crop and gizzard - do they know what the cause is?

He said they pick up things off the ground. Not sure if they are draining it.
The blood work is good. No issues with her organs or blood count.
Personally, I think it's a non-malignant tumor pushing on her crop.

Fluid in the belly can cause slow crops.

Just talked to the vet. She's standing up and walking around. And her comb is almost back to normal.
At the moment it looks like a bad case of sour crop.
