I know.. that plus the aspiration risk. I’m just getting desperate to rule some things out. I don’t want to treat her with copper if it’s not sour crop. Since she didn’t bring anything up I don’t feel like it’s sour crop anymore.
Yes, I lost my fav sweet girl a couple months ago to cocci. Her behavior is similar, but the stools are completely different.
