I don’t know the answer regarding withholding her food, but what I do know is this. When I began giving my girl grit (even though, in my mind’s eye, I didn’t know how putting more mass in her crop would actually help) along with the miconazole, is the day she began getting better. I’m still kind...

Even if her crop is not hard, go ahead and massage it really well after you give her the miconazole. Think of it as working the medicine in really well with the contents of her crop. I do remember what I think was a specific turning point with my girl was actually giving her grit. Even though...

Okay, a very quick story about the purchase of miconazole for my hen. Once I got the final directions from @azygous to give Gabby the miconazole, I sent my DH a text telling him what I needed from the store. I told him the name, what it was used for (in women), and where to find it at Walmart...

@Rhcecil, pay careful attention to everything @azygous posts. She will guide you to reclaiming health for your hen. It wasn’t too many months ago I thought my girl was slowly on her way out. Everything seemed fine with her except that huge, hard crop. After an unsuccessful trip to the vet with...
