Bloated or water belly

[Miss Lydia]

Just recently my oldest chicken hen was not emptying her crop over night and wasn’t feeling well. I started giving her a stool softener( 3 days) until she made full recovery . The stool softener hasn’t a laxative In it. Not sure if this would work for a duck but might be something to try? [USER=437550]@Isaac 0[what do you think? This is where I got the info. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ntion-and-treatments-of-crop-disorders.67194/

I have used stool softeners for impacted crops. I have seen lots of vets recommend Metamucil (refer to the dosing I provided on post 8# for that). As an alternative, you could use the Dulcolax.

This is how Journey stands. She’s very active and loves to talk. She’s been eating a little bits here and there. I have probiotics for her but she still looks miserable

Am I doing everything right? She seems so miserable but when our dog comes to play journey wants to play too
