    Sour crop causes a slow crop?

    Not six courses of Nystatin, but six doses. This morning the crop felt empty of fluid/food BUT could feel a small mass. I honestly think even after surgery, some of the balled of straw was left behind. Would this ever even break up or would she need surgery again? I haven't done epsom. She...

    Sour crop causes a slow crop?

    My hen had a partial impaction for a week, followed by crop surgery. Now she has sour crop and is on Nystatin, plus one more day of antibiotics and is on reglan. Her crop is painfully slow and not empty in the morning. She is on all wet food currently. It seems like last night she vomited. She...

    Nystatin questions/giving lots of liquid meds

    Thank you. I'm doing that. Is this stool "normal" for sour crop? She's on liquid food plus reglan and Nystatin, and the last bit of antibiotic from surgery.

    Nystatin questions/giving lots of liquid meds

    I'm treating a hen for a yeast infection and she has a very slow crop. Vet found the yeast and prescribed Nystatin. She's supposed to have 6 ml twice a day which is quite a lot. I hate trying to shove a syringe down the side of her throat because she fights it so my other options are.... 1...

    I've been doing the crop massages although yesterday it was so liquid and full that I didnt out of fear of aspiration. She had a mostly raw egg and yet it stayed in the crop all day. The slowing is worsening. :( She's on Nystatin now for the yeast infection but vet said that takes 5-7 days just...

    SUPER slow crop 10 days out from crop surgery

    Vet says she has sour crop. But concerned there may be a blockage further down since it's so slow. So if anyone has advice there's that

    SUPER slow crop 10 days out from crop surgery

    My hen, otherwise healthy, had a partial impaction of her crop for a week before having crop surgery by a vet. Vet pulled out a compacted pile of straw and hair. Yes, hair. We're now ten days out from surgery. She looks and acts well, stool is normal, and laying normally. However, her crop has...

    Crop not emptying a week out from crop surgery

    Ok. Should I do massages as well? I don't know if it would be another impaction, slow crop or possibly just a slow healing from surgery?

    Crop not emptying a week out from crop surgery

    She's been on soft foods...egg, Harrison's or wet pellets, Canned pumpkin, yogurt. Vet actually said to feed her normal pellets right after surgery but I did soft foods. The crop goes down but not fully

    Crop not emptying a week out from crop surgery

    She never had crop issues before this. I'll try a fast but she should be in a better place by now, it seems.
