    I need help. Crop issues, lethargy, dark crown

    Fluffy has had issues sour crop all summer, we thought we'd found worms over the weekend so started deworming with safeguard paste Monday ( day 4). We just brought her in for today's dose and she's super lethargic, eyes closes and shivering. I don't know what to do. She's about a year and a half.
