    The 2 types of monistat are monistat 3 and monistat 7. The number indicates the length of treatment in days (3 days and 7, respectively. I had luck mixing it into scrambled egg but you may have to syringe it directly into the mouth. Twice a day is the frequency. Someone can post the ml/lb...

    Thanks . I did pretty much the same thing Let her out for about`10-15 mins today just to get her some air and exercise. She went to the bathroom too, which was good to see. But still lethargic ad bloated. Did you vomit yours until the crop was empty? That was my intention but I didn't have the...

    I reluctantly just "vomited" my poor hen. Very unpleasant, but a lot came up. It didn't take much manipulation at all. Four times toatal, waiting 3-4 mins between each go. Still a lot in the crop but here are my observations. I'm ruling out sour crop due to no smell whatsoever (and I tried to...

    Thank you for this. I definitely have to do something drastic. She's going downhill fast. Where did you get the tubing? I'll look for a thread here that explains the procedure. Thanks again.

    I might try stool softener. There must be 3 lbs of liquid in this crop. I am stopping the ACS today. I just don't know if it's sour crop (I don't get a smell) or something like a block post-crop. I was massaging the abdomen and she bristled a bit as if it were painful. It felt a little tight...

    Still full. Some wet green poo under her this morning. She roosted overnight on a bar I put in the crate. Is the ACS water OK for a few days or should I change it? It's in a plastic hanging waterer in the crate.

    Still very full. Day 2 of ACS. Had an appetite for a little regular layer crumble an hour ago. I don't want to give her too much. I hope to see evidence of emptying in the AM.

    Thanks! I don't sew but I saw your other thread mentioning glue. I have a glue gun, so I will make one with that. I gave her the massage as you instructed. I worked it for about 6-7 minutes. I was very careful not to direct the contents up, although she did puke twice (she's very full). About 20...

    My hen continues to suffer with crop issues. I have brought her back to hospital in the basement after treating for sour crop last month. Ten days before that I treated for the same. Now I am using ACS which I started yesterday. Nothing seems to be coming out of her. She pukes when leaning...

    I Could Use Some Direction for Sour Crop

    This hen has never laid a normal looking egg. No taper, just kind of rectangular, with usually a thinner shell than the other birds'.

    I Could Use Some Direction for Sour Crop

    Thank you, Coach for this info. Your bird looks very similatr to mine. English Orp? Same color. Her crop seemed to have gone down last night. It was her first night in 5 that she was back in the coop and I didn't get out in time to check it before she ate. She's acting completely normal today in...

    Sour Crop Resolved, Diarrhea Persists

    Yes, very annoying. Thanks for the info. I complete the monistat course tomorrow, so I'll have to re-assess my next moves then. The copper sulfate is on the table as a treatment. Thanks again!

    Is this sour crop and what should I do next??

    Your story is nearly identical to mine. The crop seems smaller but that water balloon consistency persists. Thanks for the update. I might look into the Medistan. Just curious, was your vet visit expensive? I too completely gave up on trying to give the Monistat straight orally. I hide it in...
