Early stages sour crop?

[DianeB]

I'm glad to see you have been given sound, experienced advice from TwoCrows and Casportpony.

The gurgling and sneezing sound like she may have aspirated some liquid/fluid.  Is she still pooping?  Try to massage the crop just downward to see if it will give her some relief.  Aspirated liquid, there is not much you can do.  Can the vet see her today?

I'm calling she they open at 8. She picked up more and the sneezing/gurgling stopped. She's in dire straights and may not make it. Very lethargic. Neither of us slept much last night.
Listened to her chest. Can't hear anything in her lungs.

Trying to decide if I should insist on medication or put her down. I love her and don't want to lose her. But, I don't want her to have a lingering death.

She's been passing alot of water in her stools. Crop is down again.

For those that have dealt with sour crop. Can they go downhill this fast? With anti-fungal/antibiotics can they recover at this stage?

I think her main problem is the bacterial infection, not the yeast.

Last really sick one I took to the vet was so sick that I thought the car ride would kill her, but it didn't, though the exam almost did, but with proper supportive care and drugs she made a complete recovery.

Passing lots of water can be a good sign if you are getting lots of water into her.

Thank you, again. She seems alert. That gives me hope.

You should have them look at her for sure, and talk to them about supportive care. When you do talk to them, be sure to tell them about the Monistat and docusate sodium (Dulcolax) because both might have drugs interactions with drugs they might want to use.

Alert is good.

I have an appointment at 10:45 today. She eagerly ate a few treats out of my hand.
