Any bit of successful treatment is helpful.
Do you know how they emptied her crop? I was thinking if I'm going to use a feeding tube to give her an Epsom salt flush then why can't I do the opposite and withdrawal fluids? It makes sense to me but I could be out of my mind too. I'm wondering about the antibiotic. I have an antibiotic that I can give her but from what I understand it makes the yeast grow. So it's very curious to me that it worked
You didn't give her an anti fungal or yeast medication at all and her sour crop healed? Can you tell me what the motility drug was and the dosage? I might be able to get my equine vet to write me an rx. When you did the massage was her crop full of fluid? I hope you don't mind the 20 questions. I'll take any info at this point. She's refusing to eat right now. That's always my biggest problem. She won't even let me give her the coconut oil. I'm all greesed up now. Going to do olive oil via syringe. I've gotten good at using a syringe for fluids. Hardly any comes back out. It's a kind of a slow process because I won't go over .5cc at a time but I get it done. Thanks so much for sharing your story. I'm glad that your hen is on the mend.

As I said, I am not 100% sure it was sour crop and not just the effects of such an impacted crop. I went to one of the best veternarian hospitals in the new england area called Tufts, so I trusted what they said. The motility drug is called Metoclopramide 2ml (which I give every 12 hours for 7 days). Yes the crop did have quite a bit of liquid in it when I massaged it. It does not have as much now. She would open her mouth when I did it, but I did limit her water intake for a while so she would not get too full of it and regurgitate. The difference between my story and yours is the fact that my chicken would gobble food down, like she seemed super hungry.

Oh an also they flushed her crop by putting a tube down her throat and sucking the water out. I would never chance this as I have no idea how to do it and the vet told me this procedure has caused chickens to aspirate, that is why they put her on a sedative to keep her super calm. As I said, I am so new to chickens, but if you know how to tube feed then you probably can figure it out. Most people who do it on their own seem to make their chickens vomit on their own, not use suction to suck it up as it even more dangerous.

Please keep me updated on what happens to your girl! Hope she gets better real soon!
