Hi all,
I’ve searched the forums and for the life of me cannot find a solid treatment for impacted crop that doesn’t involve surgery. Maybe that’s because there’s not one, who knows. But there has to be an alternative. One of my hens have impacted crop. I brought her to the vet yesterday, had X-rays done…I kept her inside overnight and checked her crop in the morning, it’s not emptying overnight.
So if anyone has any known treatments for impacted crop other than surgery, please share! She has lost so much weight already from nutrients not effectively being passed through, but I really can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars on surgery at the vet (nor do I want to attempt it myself).
Thank you.
