Help sour crop

[Searingstallion]

I took my chicken to the vet on Monday cause her crop wasn’t emptying and she lost some weight she’s also molting right now the vet said that can make them more susceptible to infection so he looked her over and found no tumors since she is on the older side but he did say the crop is inflamed and he gave me antibiotics for it I’m on the third day of giving her it and the ball of food is still there I’m wondering if there’s anything I can give so she has something to eat other than that her droppings are normal and she acting pretty normal

When you feel her crop right at bedtime and in the morning before she gets to eat, how much does it empty by? Is her crop inflamed or just enlarged to due food or fluid in it? Does it feel solid, doughy, or gas/fluid filled? What are the antibiotics prescribed?

Here are two articles about crop issues and how to identify them. The third article is another treatment for slow/impacted crop that I would try if the treatments in the first two don't work.
