Dealing with sour crop in one of my girls. I separated and withheld food for 24hrs, but left out grit and water, gave her 1/3 a monistat 2% suppository 1x today and will do it 1x a day for a few more days. I’ve tried massaging her crop as well.
If by morning her crop is still full and squishy… do I continue to withhold food longer? Should I help her to regurgitate what’s in there?
When should I offer food? I read to offer Greek yogurt with no added sugar, but my children have dairy allergies and we can’t risk them getting contaminated with it, especially because they help me a lot with her. Could I do a coconut yogurt with probiotics and no sugar? Or probiotics in the water instead?
Would love to hear your experiences with sour crop and how you successfully treated it! The sooner she can be reintegrated with the others the better, as she was already getting bullied for being separated a long while dealing with a comb injury.
(I also have acidified copper sulfate. I don’t know which is better to use - that or the monistat!)
