Sour Crop Can’t throw up

[CIuck]

Help! My 12 week old Dominant Marans has sour and pendulous crop. I first noticed something may be off with her when I held her upside down by the feet and she stated vomiting. I didn’t know why that happened so I quickly turned her right side up because I did not want her to aspirate. Later that day I noticed her staggering after eating and noticed her crop was really huge and pendulous. I brought her in last Night, watched a bunch of videos, opted to massage Only And delay inducing vomiting as the vomit earlier did not smell bad. The consistency is like a large water balloon but sometimes will become firm, almost like the muscles are trying to contract and move along food. Especially at these point she will kind of yawn/strain..... like a yawn but not with a full open mouth and she pushes her head forward a bit. I also gave her some coconut oil last night but she’s so young she doesn’t have waddles and this morning her crop is still larger then a tennis ball. I tried to get her to vomit by massaging and turning her at a 45 degree angle, massaging, completely inverting her, massaging, with no luck except a smell coming from her mouth. I can hear gurgling noises.

I do feed fermented feed With ACV and a couple days ago it was beginning to get pretty ripe, so i gave them the rest and started a new batch. They did not eat it as fast as usual.

I keep needing to retype words so hopefully they’re not hiding below this paragraph, my phone won’t let me scroll down more

My chicken resintly had sour crop, dont feed her food for 24 hours and only giver her water, then feed her 3 meals a day for 2 days, theyh should be small and consist of grit, her normal food and scrambled eggs, my chicken is all better now, I didnt have to even make her vomit. If you have to, force feed her water. She will not drink for a day but you have to make her.

So I’m pretty sure I have a thin needle, like insulin size syringe and sterile nasal saline Wash

I would use fluids intended for iv or subcutaneous injection.

So I chatted with a vet online. They suggested:
For Sour Crop:
Monistat 7 day creme diluted half with water, give 1 ml twice daily.
For Impacted Crop:
Mix Metamucil to the consistency of pulpy orange juice. Mix 3/4 tsp of that with one crushed tab of Papaya enzyme. Give 3ml twice daily.
I’m massaging her crop afterward to Mix the medicine. She also had me feed her bits of scrambled egg, her regular feed, and also suggested thawed cooked corn or pasta. I thought that part was weird. But I am feeding her fermented feed watered down to make sure she was enough liquid and other stuff in there to keep the mass from getting hard again.

it started with a large water balloon, larger than a tennis ball But Sunday it shrunk to the size of a plum and became moldable.

that is great news, glad she is getting better.
