Pigeon with slow crop please help

[pigeon fam]

My 4 month old pomeranian pouter pigeon has a slow crop. He will stand up really tall and inflate his crop but unlike the other pigeons he seems to have a heard time deflating it almost like he is holding his breath and his stomach starts to move when he does deflate the crop he seems to feel relieved and looks normal. He through up one time right after he deflated his crop im not sure whats up im thinking it might be a yeast infection so im gunna give him some apple cider viniger. If there is anyway you could help it would be much appreciated. Thank you

Welcome To BYC!

I'm not sure about treating pigeons. Hopefully someone like @WVduckchick can chime in?

Editing to add @Pyxis and @biophiliac !
I really need a list LOL

I'm still fairly new to pigeons, and haven't had crop issues, so I'll tag a few more folks that might be able to help

@sourland @Hokum Coco @CCUK @cavemanrich @Serin @Qwerty3159

And just in case editing in tags doesn't work (on the old platform, it didn't work) I'm re-tagging @Pyxis @biophiliac

To me it sounds like normal reaction of a squab to an unusual situation. As long as the bird is eating and defecating normally, I would simply keep it under observation. More frequent handling may make it more comfortable with being socialized.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with slow crop. I do use ACV in the water most of the time and have grit available always too.

The apple cider vinegar is what I would have suggested. The other older members have given all good advise. I feel I have nothing to add to.

I have just realized I have been logged out of BYC for some time.
