Hi all. I have read many articles and forums to help me deal with what I think is doughy crop in one of my ladies. I have tried what feels like everything to clear it. I've tried the yeast buster recipe, monistat and also flucanozole. The crop remains fuller than it should be and still doughy feeling.
Two questions;
1) There are two versions (at least) of the spice cupboard yeast buster on the forums. One using 1/16 tsp measurements in 5ml lemon juice and another 'updated' one using 30ml of water and 1 tsp measurements of spices. These are vastly different amounts. Can anyone help me determine which might be more effective. More is not always better and I'm confused.
2) Can a chicken live with this? I've been treating now for almost 3 weeks and though I do have smaller crop in the mornings, it is not empty. My girl seems otherwise happy and healthy, as far as I can tell (but we know this can be deceiving). At this point I've got to have upset her internal flora. I also need to be away for several days end of month and will not be able to treat her during that period. Will need to know if I may have to prepare my friend who will check in on them for a potentially dead bird.
Any advice, particularly from those who have actually cured (or not) this problem, would be appreciated.
Thanks
