My chicken Poppy has had an impacted crop for roughly 5 days. I took her to the vet on day 2. They told me I had worms and they gave her an anti-inflammatory shot and to bring her back for a different shot if that didn’t work in a couple days. So I went back and got the daily crop stimulant shots. However on day 2am and then again after the vet in the pm she ate an entire bowl of grit- like ALOT and I just feel it sitting in her crop. There has been no improvements and I can still feel all the grit stuck in the crop. I’m supposed to do the shots for 4 days and then bring her back in if she’s not better. Can she wait this long? She’s not really eating or drinking anymore. I feel like she just needs her crop manually emptied but I’m not sure and am really worried about her and would appreciate any advice or guidance that I could do to help her. Thank you!
