Impacted crop - massage with olive oil?

[CoopGirls4]

We use garlic water when our hens have a impacted crop...hope she'll be alright☺

How do you use garlic water.

we tend to syringe it if they don't drink it willingly

I’ve done that for 4 days now and it stills seems impacted I check her in the morning and she has a big wad of something there. Now what. I’m frustrated.

Blockages are mechanical and chemicals will not help, that is the reason for massaging. One is trying to suspend the blockage (mechanical) so it can pass, what is more natural to do this with, but with water. Drenching amounts of oil is just not natural to the birds regular diet, verses water. Maybe you should ask an AVIAN vet. Sure there are vets that work on birds, a real avian vet requires a board certification and one would never tell you to use oil. I had a regular vet almost kill my cockatoo from an OD. Birds take different care than other mammals.

I read to just put a little oil in water and thats what im using to help pass the impaction. Ill let yall know if it worked.
