Round two of sour crop

[marissajaynee]

So it happened again but with my other isa brown pumpkin. A good week after Penny passed then Pumpkin came down with sour crop too it’s really strange it happened to both my isa browns and at in or around the start of their 3ed year. So I treated pumpkin with thr same woman's yeast cream I did Penny and did it for a extra day so 8 in total there was some change but her crop still hasn't gone back to normal and now she's going in one of the nest boxes and laying down and crapping in the box. She does drink water and eat a little here and there. But yeah idk what to do for her now I figure at 3 years isa browns just fall apart even if they are well taken care of ...

@Ayu I feel you. It’s hard to see them decline. Shortly after we put our Penny down, our other isa, Karen, started having similar-ish symptoms. She is 3. I think her symptoms mirror more of water belly/just general decline than anything. No crop issues yet. She is starting to have the same runny poop that smells strongly of ammonia, walking with a waddle a bit, etc. She is still eating, drinking, and foraging, however, she does tend to stand in one spot a bit like she’s uncomfortable from time to time. It may be vent gleet even. She has stopped laying within the last 1-2 months as well. I am hoping she can still live her best life, but it is disheartening knowing that she is definitely going downhill slowly.

Hi, I've got a nearly 7 year old bantam with suspected sour crop - I'm going to try and get some Nystatin tomorrow... I've seen people say give it twice a day but does anyone know how much in each dose?

I am not sure since I haven’t used it before, I just have it on hand. My girl didn’t make it long enough to try it.

I just found this after googling:
