EE Pullet not Feeling Well

[azygous]

I get the Equate seven day cream from Walmart. It's the most economical. Forget the package that include suppositories. The tube of cream is all your need. Dosage amount is not critical, but frequency and duration is. Twice a day for a full seven days.

Okay. Does it have to be every 12 hours or just 2x a day at some point?

And during the week, keep making her eat and drink. Do I have to massage her crop too, or is that just for impacted crops?

Thank you so much for helping. Lately it seems that nature is just against me keeping birds, so having someone willing to help with this is just so, so appreciated

Is it okay to try and make her eat more before the first dose? Or will that just make it worse? She seems like she's perked slightly now that she's been against a handwarmer, but.....

It's going to be late before I can give her the first dose since I have to go all the way into town to get it and I have another shift today. I don't want to make her wait to eat if I can get her to, but I don't want anything to get worse

I hope she gets better!! <3
Sorry I can’t be helpful, I’m taking notes to what I should do if I see the same symptoms in my girls.

She just made a sound, I can't tell though if it was a belch or her talkong. She has stopped the honking/sneezing clicks so far.

Could being too cold have triggered her crop to turn sour?

The doses can be spaced conveniently for you. Sometime in the morning and again sometime toward evening will be fine. You can even toss in a third dose if her progress seems slow.

She probably has a yeast infection, not impacted crop. You don't need to, and should not, massage the crop. You can let her dictate what she eats and how often. Sour crop patients normally have a poor appetite until the yeast is brought under control.

Continue to encourage fluids. As soon as she appears to be strong again, it would be best to withhold the sugar in the water as sugar can encourage yeast.

Yeast takes advantage of any sort of stress to colonize as stress is very hard on the immune system. Most yeast infections are a result of some other health issue erroding the body's defenses.

Okay. She did just drink a little bit more willingly.

She still has not opened her eyes. Is this normal, or could it be something else that's wrong as well?

Would raw egg yolk be a no go? Just asking because she seems for the most part willing to drink, but if it's not liquid, she isn't showing any willingness
