Does anyone have links for sour crop treatment? I've got a customer in BR with a hen on death's door. All I can find are old articles.

I know not to vomit her. Is generic monistat really the best option?

Edit to add: I found the article by Two Crows so I passed that along. He has a vet but it's not a chicken vet. So... :/

I realized you were joking, I also thought I might have needed to amplify my answer for the other "asker".

Just prior to WW II our nation went through a time when our government attempted to control reproduction (eugenics). Below is a paragraph I found when I "Binged/Googled" Brush Mountain, Virginia, eugenics
My cousin found similar information in the history of Oklahoma.
This might be the reason we delayed our support of England and France in WW II.



Early Eugenics
The book begins with a chilling description of a government sweep into southwestern Virginia's Brush Mountain, where sheriff's deputies ran down “imbeciles” for state eugenicists.
The authorities had prescribed forced sterilization, an idea that had humble beginnings in the theories of late 19th-century British statistician Francis Galton.
A pioneering meteorologist who also discovered that fingerprints were unique in each individual, Galton believed intelligence was inherited. He wrote about the subject and studied inherited intelligence, then coined a word using the Greek words for “well” and “born": eugenics.
The idea soon found fertile ground in the minds of American sympathizers, who thought controlling the birth of “imbeciles” and the “feebleminded” would “better society.” Anyone could be a target for the eugenicists. Epileptics, also considered “feebleminded,” were a particular eugenicist concern.

has the government changed the name of the program, I recall "switch definitions" is a likely possibility

Haven't seen too many like that, so not sure why it happens.

Okay. Thought I'd share with the poop inspector!

Good morning everyone!!!!! So happy Halloween is over. It was fun but it's time to put the spider back to rest.

Poor Duckling's Spider is missing three legs. It's been a long morning!

Just the silly picture of my last minute costume last night.

I actually think you look great! I also think you look like a biker chick!

The vet will be able to check the crop contents for bacteria and/or yeast. If yeast is found, then he/she will probably prescribe ketoconazole or fluconazole. If bacteria is found, antibiotics. Sometimes both are found, he/she might prescribe both.

Problem is that when birds get sick their digestive tract slows down, and many people assume it's a crop problem and ignore the underlying reason their bird is sick. Another time when one you see a full crop is when the dying process has started, and there's nothing that can be done once it's started.

Tell your customer to have the vet check crop contents and poop for worm eggs, coccidia, bacteria, and yeast. Also suggest that the vet give subcutaneous fluids.
