Morning All!
I am looking for some input on a 1.5 yo Dark Brahma with some strange crop issues. My whole flock was wormed about a month with Safeguard (5 nights, then again at Day 10). She had what I thought was an impacted crop(not emptying at night, drinking tons of water, watery diarrhea). I treated that and she almost seemed to develop sour crop(squishy, no odor) which I treated with miconazole. I took her to the vet at the end of Week 2 and x-rays revealed nothing. Vet palpated thoroughly and did a full checkup and said she looked great but underweight. No sour crop, no impaction but she prescribed Oxytet since Campylobacter fit the symptoms. I'm tubefeeding CriticalCare because she is not eating enough. Her crop is very slow to empty (still full in the morning until I massage it). Other than not laying(understandably), she is acting pretty normal, running around, foraging, dirtbathing, etc... She looks better than 2 week ago but I'm at a loss to get the crop moving better. Advice?
