Is this normal poop

[Eggcessive]

Her crop is pretty distended. If she is regurgitating, it can make her congested. We have to be careful not to accidentally squeeze the crop when it is full and squishy, because they can choke. I don‘t see any worms in the pics, but worming her with a broad spectrum wormer such as Valbazen or SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer would be safe. Valbazen 1/2 ml given orally, and repeated in 10 days would be good for most worms. Safeguard 1/4 ml per pound once and repeated in 10 days would treat roundworms, cecal worms. Give it for 5 straight days if capillary worms are suspected. Discard eggs during and for 14 days after the end of treatment. Worm larvae cannot be seen without a microscope. Only roundworms and the very rare tapeworms can be seen without a scope.

Corid dosage is 1 1/2 tsp of the powder or 10 ml (2 tsp) of the water per gallon of water for 5-7 days. If the fecal comes back negative for coccidia, I would not give it. But worming is still alright to do with a negative fecal test. Buttermilk is good for probiotics. Make sure that she has access to granite poultry grit. I would not give her any whole grains or scratch while she is having any crop issues. Coconut oil when refrigerated, can be cut into small pieces and fed to help the crop problem. A tsp is a good amount daily to lube the tubes.

Thanks for the info, I did get an appt at the vet for this afternoon and my dog vet should have fecal results this morning.

Fecal came back clear, so I think I may be dealing with a crop issue. The rattling isn't as bad now but I'm still taking her to vet this afternoon.

It's pneumonia primarily in her right lung, she'll be on antibiotics and anti inflammatory meds. Vet suggested x-ray to make sure no metal or foreign object in crop but crop felt normal so I'll wait on x-rays.

Darn unfortunately when we were were trying to give her meds this morning my hubby accidentally pressed her crop which had not totally emptied. My guess is she may have aspirated some of it. I did get the antibiotics down after, but not sure at this point if it's going to help. Any suggestions for her crop issue, we really don't want to spend the money and time 1 hr drive one way on x-ray @ vet. It's a little firmer now than yesterday afternoon and it does feel full. No sour smell. Any advice greatly appreciated this is so frustrating.
