UPDATE-all that is left in the crop in the morning is a tiny ball, about a centimeter in size, which is shrinking or breaking up each day, just a bit. When this started, it was literally big enough to fill my cupped hand.
She is now off of the monistat (had it for two weeks) and just on the two...
I somehow missed your post completely! I am honestly shocked to hear that it's hardly ever from a yeast infection. I wonder if I should still try this?
THe fought ball is pretty small now...maybe the size of a quarter. I've been letting her free range (do you let them during this?) because it...
Thank you. I do love her.
This morning it's about the same size and doughy feeling, which it's been that doughy feeling now since day one. I tried to tube feed her raw egg with acv but she fought and fought and I think I'll end up aspirating her if I keep trying that.
Thank you. Her crop was actually smaller this morning so I was quite happy but saw her throw up a little this evening so I'm thinking it probably wasnt progress this morning. Seeing how she looks in the morning.
If she passes away from sour crop, how do they usually die? Is it long, drawn out...
She's getting them orally. Her poo is greenish and grainy though so am thinking she is eating grass, which could make things worse. I've been debating at all. She did eat some boiled egg tonight. Do you or anyone know ...if I did the copper sulfate would that hinder the effect of the oral...
Ty. I think I'll give until morning to see if some improvement with the antibiotic and if not, try the copper sulfate. My fear is going into the weekend and her then becoming poorly and having no one to put her down. :(
At the same time, right now, it's hard to think she's that ill when she...
Thanks. I just took a screenshot of it. To be honest, I've never had a natural remedy do much of anything. I keep trying them with different pets but tend to think people get lucky once and then swear by it. Don't get me wrong, I'll keep trying but that's my experience. :(
I'm afraid to put...
Hello and thanks for asking.
I took her to a vet and they have her an antibiotic, dewormer (just in case) and metoclopramide. She's now had five doses of the antibiotic. The vet said to "wait and see over the next two to three days"...I took her in Tuesday morning.
The crop is the same as it's...
Wondering if, in my situation, this would be helpful. With sour crop, do you do the Epsom salt flush, then wait for a while before doing the copper sulfate? Or just do the Epsom flush and then immediately leave out the copper water?
Is there a concern for the chicken refusing to drink the...
I have a hen who had an impacted crop, now appears to be sour crop. This is the 6th day of the issue.
I have acidified copper sulfate arriving tomorrow. It seems to be a lesser known treatment. Before I use this (am nervous about it), if you have used this as a sour crop treatment that isn't...
