Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

[robinwiththechickens]

I'm really not sure on the egg withdrawal question. My poor baby wasn't laying because she was so sick. This is afterall, medicine meant for humans, although it would be absorbed rather than ingested if we were to use it on ourselves. I guess a good rule of thumb would be, "if in doubt, throw them out," maybe for 2-weeks, isn't that pretty standard for egg withdrawal after other medications?

Best of luck to all of you!

We used the cream and mixed it in her yogurt, eggs and EVOO. Never had a problem with her eating it this way. Good luck!

Just an FYI, I dont know if it works, but First State Vet. supply now has sour crop bound medication. I ordered some to have on hand, but have not used it yet. Not sure if this is for the same thing though.

I just wanted to post that it is never a good idea to make a chicken puke. This is bad advice that has somehow managed to become treatment. You should never, no matter what the condition, make a chicken vomit. The risk of aspiration and death are too great. Plus, it has absolutely no medical significance. The yeast is in the crop. They aren't going to throw it up. It's sort of like a human having a yeast infection and thinking that a water flush will help. Please, for the sake of your chickens. Do not induce vomiting.

I agree. I have killed one by doing that. NEVER again..... But, i did help one that was choking on a grape get it up and it saved her life.

I have 'removed' grapes from my chickens, also! The greedy devils I had even quartered the grapes and they gobbled them so fast that I had to push them back up and out. This happened twice! They just never learn.
