Hey there! Ya girl needs to guidance😭🤦🏼‍♀️!
My Olive girl had a huge crop impaction last year and ended up having to have surgery(🤦🏼‍♀️) to remove the corn that had created a blockage. On Saturday evening I noticed her crop was a doughy feeling, but thought maybe she had just eaten a lot. Yesterday, I went out and checked her again and it had not gone down any. It’s feels like a hard, doughy ball and then when I massage it for a few minutes it feels like it adjusts or goes away and then she’ll move around again and it goes right back. I think she over-ate grit bc it feels like pebbles🤦🏼‍♀️. I am withholding food for 24hrs, giving electrolytes in water, isolating her and am massaging the best I can a couple times a day. She acts normal, feisty as usual and was eating normal.
What else can I do for my girl?? I don’t want to put her through surgery again unless she has to have it 🙏🏼!

Do you know how to tube feed? If she were mine, I would tube lots of fluids to her, and that would help break up the impaction if it's a grain impaction. It will not help if it's a grass impaction.
