    Silkie seriously ill. Please respond.

    I would guess its not impacted if its soft, right? And YES sour crop smells like rotten droppings (like droppings could smell worse LOL)...it is unmistakable. I only have two silkies, and have experienced it. The vinegar is a miracle cure for it tho. Could it hurt to try a little cider...

    Silkie seriously ill. Please respond.

    Oh and yes an impacted crop can have those symptoms!! My silkie has been sick, and I spoke with the breeder and she told me silkies are "very dramatic" LOL, most everything will make them stumbly and tired.

    Silkie seriously ill. Please respond.

    does she have a smell? can you rub her crop gently, see if its full and check for odor? if an odor occurs its probably sour crop. You can give her 1/4 tsp of cider vinegar in a dropper. and see if she perks up. keep me posted!

    Hi! I haven't posted in a while... My silkie is sick. I put her out yesterday morning after a couple days of rain, went back out to get her an hour or so later and she was limp and lazy. I thought she was full, from worms and grass. Noticed later she wasn't standing. Got up this morning...
