Medistatin dosage questions

[Spoiledchooks]

I have a 1 yr old pet ameraucanas hen named Betty who had a blockage which took 2 months to clear. This caused sour crop and she now has a pendulous crop. I have been fighting this since the original blockage in June. Her crop still isn’t moving properly on its own so I give her crop rubs as well as her papaya enzymes 2x daily (crop rubs as needed which is normally 3-4 times a day) I realize obviously there must be an underlying issue but since her quality of life is still “normal” I’m trying to figure out what a daily dosage of medistatin would be to keep her sour crop under control. I have been dosing her her 1gram 3X daily for 7 days on then 7 days off to try to give her a break. Just wondering if I’m able to do daily in her food to keep it under control always. Any advice about this would be greatly appreciated!!
(Vet unfortunately not an option where I am-too far & too expensive)

Medistatin dosing is below.

If her crop is Pendulous, she may benefit from a Bra to help keep the crop pushed up into a more natural position. See the image below. The crop hangs just a bit, but the opening to the Proventriculus rises just a little. When the crop loses muscle tone sometimes the contents aren't pushed up correctly, so a Bra can help. In the thread below, @azygous shows how to make a Bra and throughout the thread she gives her input and observations of what she experienced along with how she made adjustments/modifications to the bra so her hen could benefit.
