IMPACTED CROP! Please Help!

Update: I feel her crop getting softer

Go ahead and massage the crop. Gently. Focus your finger tips in the center of the mass and try to break it up. Continue until the crop empties.

Is there a specific direction I should massage it in (In circles, upwards, downwards)?

Circles.

Circles.

Got it, her crop is now squishier so I’m guessing the impactation is almost gone? The squishiest might be due to the amount of water she consumed, it’s pretty hot so she’s consuming a lot of water. I’ll update later.

@azygous, I forgot to ask this before but when can I start giving my girl food again? I’m thinking of offering some wet mash crumble.

Offer her food and water right away. Just stay away from pulpy, stringy stuff like broccoli and hay. Offer grit as well.

Update: her poop is a bit more watery now but I can still see urates in them. It’s almost time for her to sleep so I will update tomorrow. She has been eating wet crumble for the past few hrs and has access to grit and water.
