    Sour Crop!!!!!

    I had to give my girl lotramin the athletes foot stuff. It is a constant battle but she is still with me. I got the large equate version at walmart and give her 3 squirts a day into her mouth. I wrote on this extensively a few posts ago.

    Miranda : she hates being away from her sister so she has been out eating what they eat. I found that since her case was so severe that it didnt matter what food I gave her.

    Chick gets mauled, what do I do?

    Sour crop

    Was her crop hard? My girl still always eats even though she had a giant crop! Silly girl. I wouldnt worry about the color loss though, maybe just keep an eye out on it. Remember she hasnt eaten for a few days so she is still recovering her nutrients.

    swollen watery eye

    I tried to put neo on it and she just wasnt having it! Should I continue with the Tylan or should I start giving amoxicillin?

    How is she doing? If natural remedies do not work (as in my hens case) I have been treating mine with Lotramin.
