Can I use Clotrimazole in place of Miconazole for Sour Crop

[TerriL188]

I am fairly new to this site so if I am posting in the wrong place please let me know. I have a chicken with Sour Crop and I was looking on this site for help. I found an article by azygous and it said you can use Miconazole to treat the Sour Crop. I only have Clotrimazole and I needed to know if it would work, it is not easy for me to get to a store. I appreciate any help I can get. Terri

Hi Terri

@TwoCrows mentions both Monistat (Miconazole) and Gyne-Lotrimin which contains Clotrimazole in her ARTICLE on treating crop issues. I recommend you read the whole article through, very good information in there.

Let us know how your girl is doing.

I did miss that Thank you. Well I took a fecal sample to my vet today and they say she has Gape worm and Coccidiosis. So I guess she does not have Sour Crop. She is not a young chicken so I am a little iffy on the Gape Worm she is not making any noises like she has any respiratory problem and her breathing is good. So I will treat her for the Coccidiosis but I think I will talk to the Vet to see if he agrees with the tech that checked the fecal.

It's good that you will be seeing the vet so he can re-check the test results.

Coccidiosis and/or worms can be a common cause of crop issues. What did they recommend that you treat her with?

I am treating her with Corid, I gave it to her yesterday. This morning she is eating and drinking I will keep an eye on her crop to be sure it empties in the morning. Thanks
