Equate miconazole monostat for doughy sour crop now lethargic HELP

[Yellow321]

@Yellow321 Did you find a digestive enzyme to try? The other benefit is that it helps stop fermentation and gas in people so should help in the crop.

I'm not sure if the molasses sugars could fuel yeast. But the flush should literally flush out her system and clear a gizzard impaction. Once her food can move through there shouldn't be a crop issue unless there is also another underlying issue.

I'm trying to find one that doesn't have probiotics in it like yours. You mentioned yours was just the enzymes. I don't know what to get! Would you mind sharing the link or name of the exact one you used? I'd be so grateful!

I have some "pure organic molasses" like what we use on our pancakes. Is that the one I'd use for the flush? Or is there some chicken specific molasses I don't know about?

The molasses you have will work!

I have bathed my sickest hens, they were never stressed. Epsom salt is high in magnesium which helps to move digestive process in their bodies.

Thank you. I may give this a try.

Thank you. I may give this a try.

If you're calm, she'll be calm, I've had hens fall asleep in my arms as I was bathing them. Use warm water in a basin, take it slow, don't hold her wings down. It's soothing

Oy. I just looked and I have MAPLE SYRUP, not molasses! Off to the store I go...

This is what I used because it's what I had.

But it will give you an idea of the enzyme mix.

I think the molasses flush would work faster. Just like people chickens can uptake magnesium through their skin. I'm not sure I would do the epsom salt soak and the molasses within a short period of time. It might be too strong of a laxative effect for her.

Molasses flush vs Epsom salt flush. Which do you recommend?

I truly appreciate your help!

What's her energy level?

What's her energy level?

Zero. She stands up to attempt to peck at the cucumber. Then lays back down with eyes closed.

Go with molasses then.
