Crop very swollen first thing in the morning — sour crop treatment?

[Wyorp Rock]

Thanks! I uploaded the video to “threeblueducks’ album” and it also shows up on my profile under Gallery. Edit: she hasn’t done that thing again since she did on Thursday morning.

I massaged Robin’s crop again this morning, going in an upward direction like you said, and I got it to shrink about the same amount as yesterday, maybe a little less. She is really good about eating her coconut oil, and I have been giving her 2 teaspoons in the morning and evening. Today she ate almost all of her food as well and I got some probiotics to put in her water tomorrow. Is that a good idea even if she has sour crop developing?

Her crop feels fluid filled, not mushy/doughy, and as I was squishing it I wasn’t able to feel anything solid except maybe a few grains of feed. Her breath has started to smell sourer, so I agree that I should treat for sour crop.

You can give the probiotics is you wish. I'd start treating as Sour, but still give the coconut oil 2x a day.

I'm having trouble getting the video to load, I'll continue to try and give you my thoughts later.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I would do more then 2 tsp she may need quite a bit and massage it for as long as she can handle. I'm sorry she is going through that.

1tsp twice a day is adequate. The OP is giving 2tsp twice a day.

I was able to see the video. If she's not doing that anymore, then most likely she was coughing a bit due to the crop being fluid filled.

There's a difference in her beak now too. Did she injure it or are there lesions inside the beak?
