    Crop Surgery Performed - More pics & How To Steps posted - Pg 10

    Swollen Crop, won't eat

    I am not a vet, nor do I want to undermine his/her decision to give antibiotics, but I think that plain unsweetened yogurt with active cultures such as Dannon would help her crop and digestion. Antibiotics, I think destroy the good bacteria. What did the x-ray reveal?

    blue cochen red leg/foot infection?

    I don't know if the scales will grow back. I never heard of red leg, but I read last night that mites enter the skin through the feather folicle and party in tunnels under the skin. That would explain why it looks red and swollen. i sprayed with permetherin today. will keep you updated.
