Smelly Diarrhea, weight loss, low appetite

[Wyorp Rock]

Thanks for y'alls reply. Her crop this morning felt full of air/liquid - no solids. I tried inducing vomiting to see what came up and she did a little bit (and it smelled gross). I originally thought it could be a sour crop but would that cause her to drop weight? She now has no appetite and this morning wouldn't even eat treats. Thoughts?

Sounds like Sour Crop. Here's a couple of very good articles to read

Yes if her crop contents had a sour or bad odor, it is probably sour crop. The articles that Wyorp Rock listed are good to read. Do not try vomiting her because it is dangerous and she could choke to death. Nystatin (or Medistatin powder sold without a prescription online,) can be a good treatment. Others use miconazole or clotrimazole cream orally, which are antifungals. Many crop problems can occur secondary to another problem, such as reproductive problems.
