Sick Keet About 6 weeks old

[Sydney65]

Quick update - baby loved egg yolk, and there was no need to syringe thankfully. She'd just stick her beak in the yolk and suck it up, lol! I put her back with the other babies today as she's back to 100% happy and wanting to constantly eat and run around and perch on my head, lol. Looks like the vaginal yeast infection cream did the trick. She ate it like ice cream. *shudder* I gave her 1ml morning and night for a few days, and after the 1st dose she hasn't had an issue with squishy crop. So - whew! Happy ending!!!!

I keep going through this thread...where did the yeast infection cream idea come in?!

It came from some other threads on treating sour crop. I was frantically researching all over the internet, lol!

That was a very good article. And now you'll give yogurt to restore good flora, yes? https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

Yep! Getting some at the grocery tomorrow. I've been giving him probiotic as well

Baby is just fine! Back with other keets and running and playing like nothing was ever wrong.
