I got two at the same time, and she is noticeably smaller than the other. Again, at first I didn’t think much of it but I’m wondering...

    Sour crop for 1 month.

    I’m running out of options. I had a vet prescribe me Albon over the phone in the early stages of this issue and did nothing (because that’s not what she needed) I have treated her with ACV, fresh garlic, probiotics, electeolytes, plain yogurt, olive oil and maggots when it felt impacted. I also...
