How long was her crop sour? Was she eating/pooping? I have found that when their crop is sour they seclude themselves a couple days before noticed. Mine didn't show sneezing or rattling noise with has to do with SC. Sounds like something hit pretty quick. Have you checked around for moldy/toxic...
Hmmm, I had taken a dove that found next to my coop to the vet. His guess was ( in my case) a neurological issue but said that it could possibly survive if I was willing to feed/water/ care for it daily as it couldn't hold its head up. I choose to have him put it down. But it was not my hen...
You could give her some finely crushed baby aspirin mixed in water. You could try to put something under her neck to prop her up while sleeping. You could try yogurt with the egg for more nutrition. And the electrocutes help to keep them from getting dehydrated.
If it were me I would do a search for a diagnosing illnesses by symptoms. I would be watchful that she doesn't get picked on by others. Is she the only one with an abscess? Depending on if it is hard or soft might give you an answer before trying to lance it. I don't know, just trying to give...
So you wormed her once or twice and how long ago? Can you see any worms in her throat? I understand they need the second dose to kill the larva eggs. You might try pro biotics / electrolytes to boost energy. That being said, it could be something more serious. Do you still have her isolated from...
So after having read and reread I came upon an older post via google from a BYC member. Since I have been trying other stuff for her sour crop I am going to try the H-6-3 pills. To get a $5.00 bottle online they charge $6.00 up for shipping. I turns out that this H-6-3 stuff's generic name is...
I am at a loss. Lost the my other hen while trying to treat her sour crop. She got weak and didn't eat or drink for 5 days except for a little yogurt, fish oil, and water to thin (it by syringe). This morning I gave 1/3 Monistat 3 cap and I have some grit only in her rehab cage. Q- should I be...
Well my friends, my little Connie lost the battle Saturday night. I knew she was so very weak. I hope she didn't suffer. I am not sure what that would look like. She was very still yet I knew, she knew, that I was there. It is never easy loosing one of them. Wanted to say "Thank You" to all who...
Sorry, I don't have the links available. But while waiting for answers what I do is a search to find past post that sound like my issues. Usually I can run across links that way. There are a few that show how to diagnose by symptoms. I would also check around for anything toxic, moldy, or stuff...
tenchicks, I saw the bra thing and the 3 kinds of crop issues while researching. So, it was sour crop (water balloonnish) and can turn Pendulous? If so that might be it, as I still feel something but not liquids nor solid. I will look for the sock bra. Can you say if her lethargy and closed eyes...
I took a baby dove in to the vet that I found on the ground flopping around. Same like symptoms. He didn't find anything broken but guessed it had head trauma causing neurological issues. I don't know how to tell if they are suffering or trying to heal. I say do what you can to keep it warm and...
Thanks Eggcessive, I have looked at the threads and looked again. Will continue to try and get her to eat on her own and force the other more. I was afraid of stressing her too much. She is so weak.
I am posting this here as Connie has gone from bad to worse. After having read through numerous post & links, I feel Connie & I may be losing the battle. About 5 days ago we noticed her in activity and found she had a squishy crop. I followed the advice of ACV in water, yogurt, olive oil, and...
