The drugs that vets usually prescribe are nystatin, ketoconazole, or fluconazole, not Monistat.

You are correct. Those you listed are by prescription and since I wanted to keep my costs down for my two $3.99 Tractor Supply Polish Crested chicks, she then suggested Monistat (Miconazole) or Lotrium (Clotimizole) cream which are both a few bucks over the counter. But, since Miconazole has the same pharmacologic properties of Ketonazole and has the same affect on the cell membrane of Candidiasis I decided to use it.
My vet does have experience treating birds, equine and swine, large n small animals as she's located in a very rural area and makes house calls for the animals. Perhaps, she's not exactly by the book but, she has never lead me down a wrong path yet. Plus I'm happy to save money.
What can I say? I'm just being honest. For now on, I'll be offering a mixture of ACV & garlic in my poultry water and checking crops, feathers, feet and skin daily per her recommendation since I handle them daily anyway.
Fingers are crossed, crops are flat in the morning without the sound of bubbles nor the odor.
Hope this explains better and thank you for helping me learn about this chicken information.

Clear mucus-y dribble when they try to drink. Squishy, watery full crops That’s what I keep coming up with as I’m google diagnosing. Chicks are 2 weeks old.
