Hi there, I was giving her apple cider vinegar and yogurt to displace the yeast, and coconut oil to lube up and help her pass any blockages (which in hindsight may have been that bloody polyp I posted earlier. I'd suggest applying creams only to vents.

Lilli has resolved her distended/slow crop. Restricted diet and treatment for sour crop did the trick. She is completely fine after I ordered two crop bras for her! :lol:

Awesome, thank you for the response. I am vexed and mystified by her. Ultimately I do think she will be wearing a crop bra. I am comfortable with crop surgery, and have many exotic vet friends who can help me with analgesia/anesthesia. I understand aseptic technique since my day job is a...
