My 2.5 year old Olive Egger woke up yesterday with a small but impacted crop. I isolated her and brought her into the house. I gave her some warm water with olive oil and massaged it throughout the day. It loosened up pretty fast and became squishy and malleable (no sour crop smell) and I gave her a little food yesterday (1/3 hard boiled egg and 1.5 tbsp of yogurt). She woke up with yet a small impacted crop again this morning but it was easy to loosen it with the water and massage. I gave her a little egg and mash. She's very hungry. She's a very skinny girl as it is so I'm worried about her.

Is it ok to keep feeding her little meals throughout the day if she continues to have a squishy crop? I assume I should continue to isolate her and keep her inside so she doesn't eat stuff outside that she's not supposed to?

Please let me know.
