Do you know anything about docusate sodium stool softener for chickens with impacted crops? I have a girl who I think has that and the massage and oil method isn’t working.
I’ll see tomorrow. But I haven’t been very worried about her crop so much as her breathing. This is the first day in the last few that she has been hungry. Tomorrow will tell how much she’s improving i think.
Just an update. Her eyes and nose and mouth are still clear. She has a bit more of an appetite today and is preening herself and alert. Started singing to me when I went out to see her today. Still a bit raspy in her breathing, but overall I’m seeing improvement. Her poops are more solid today...
So she ate some food today, which was nice, and she preceded to poop on my lap. Still some raspiness in her breathing, and her poop is green and white with some yellow. The green is kinda mucusy.
This hen is the one I’m most worried about. She shows mild interest in food, but then seems to spit up when she bends over too long. She is also the one I noticed with the raspy breathing.
