Montistat

Good morning

I've previously posted about this hen.

She's 11 months old and is just coming out of a heavy molt. She was showing signs of a slow crop and passing water stools. She was eating small amounts but drinking lots of water. Ive tried massages, coconut oil, digestives enzymes and papaya, natural yogurt, probiotics, multivits in water etc with no luck. With some massage she passing semi solid.

No blood, no mucus. Fecal float negative.

Her crop is hard in the morning. Then when massage feels like dough.

So thinking doughy crop, yeast infection.

She's so slim prominent keel I'm worried I'm running out of time. I managed to get some monistat 7 shipped over. Is this worth a try?

If so how would you advise I give? How much? And do I have to withhold food ?

Greatful for any help

Here is the article I use as a crop issue reference: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/
From the article - "The easiest (and cheapest) to obtain yeast treatment, though, is miconazole, found on the women's hygiene shelf in the pharmacy. You can use either the suppositories or the vaginal cream. Measure a quarter inch of suppository or about half an inch of cream and give orally twice a day for seven days. Do not stop treatment before the full seven days are completed or the yeast may return." Miconazole is the active ingredient in Monistat 7.
Hope this works for your girl!
