    The 2 types of monistat are monistat 3 and monistat 7. The number indicates the length of treatment in days (3 days and 7, respectively. I had luck mixing it into scrambled egg but you may have to syringe it directly into the mouth. Twice a day is the frequency. Someone can post the ml/lb...

    Thanks . I did pretty much the same thing Let her out for about`10-15 mins today just to get her some air and exercise. She went to the bathroom too, which was good to see. But still lethargic ad bloated. Did you vomit yours until the crop was empty? That was my intention but I didn't have the...

    I reluctantly just "vomited" my poor hen. Very unpleasant, but a lot came up. It didn't take much manipulation at all. Four times toatal, waiting 3-4 mins between each go. Still a lot in the crop but here are my observations. I'm ruling out sour crop due to no smell whatsoever (and I tried to...

    Thank you for this. I definitely have to do something drastic. She's going downhill fast. Where did you get the tubing? I'll look for a thread here that explains the procedure. Thanks again.

    I might try stool softener. There must be 3 lbs of liquid in this crop. I am stopping the ACS today. I just don't know if it's sour crop (I don't get a smell) or something like a block post-crop. I was massaging the abdomen and she bristled a bit as if it were painful. It felt a little tight...

    Still full. Some wet green poo under her this morning. She roosted overnight on a bar I put in the crate. Is the ACS water OK for a few days or should I change it? It's in a plastic hanging waterer in the crate.

    Still very full. Day 2 of ACS. Had an appetite for a little regular layer crumble an hour ago. I don't want to give her too much. I hope to see evidence of emptying in the AM.

    Thanks! I don't sew but I saw your other thread mentioning glue. I have a glue gun, so I will make one with that. I gave her the massage as you instructed. I worked it for about 6-7 minutes. I was very careful not to direct the contents up, although she did puke twice (she's very full). About 20...

    My hen continues to suffer with crop issues. I have brought her back to hospital in the basement after treating for sour crop last month. Ten days before that I treated for the same. Now I am using ACS which I started yesterday. Nothing seems to be coming out of her. She pukes when leaning...
