Crop issues need HELP!

Day 2 FLAT CROP! Our prayers have been heard!!

Seems to even have passed some small shavings in her droppings last night! I am hoping that their is no other blockage down lower to cause any other problems.

She and her sister will be kept on concrete in their chunnel until all signs of danger have passed for this little one. They are still getting a small amount of greens finely grated and chopped.

I will check back to see how everyone else is doing.

Thank you everyone for your advice, kind words, and love

. I couldn't have done this without all of your support.

That's great news! Btw does your little one have a name? If not I suggest "Winnie" after Winston Churchill..."Never give up"!

She does (Hi-ho Silver), lol, but I do like this better!

I checked her when I got home and she had pooped a lot and maybe vomited in the crate. Her crop was full but I'm sure she has been drinking a lot of water

Should I do another epsom treatment or just see how her crop is tomorrow and repeat in the am if she isn't better?

I would. That stuff has to be loosened up somehow. Massage it too.

Ok massaged and it felt like a water balloon. She vomited a lot of what looked like mud. I syringe fed her 20ml epsom salt solution and she seemed a lot more alert. She was even fighting to get away. After I fed her the epsom solution she pooped watery poop with pieces in it. Pics of vomit and poo to follow.

I wonder if she's getting really hungry and eating dirt and mud which is backing up her crop. I only fed them once yesterday

The flock should have all day access to food.

Pics 1&2 vomit and #4 poo?
