    Hen with swollen watery crop, not eating or pooping

    Hanging in there. The nystatin keeps the crop down but it’s definitely slow. She may have water belly but the doctor didn’t pick up any heart, liver issues, internal egg or large tumours. It could be an infection somewhere or smaller tumours.
