Crowing
My hen had a partial impaction for a week, followed by crop surgery. Now she has sour crop and is on Nystatin, plus one more day of antibiotics and is on reglan. Her crop is painfully slow and not empty in the morning. She is on all wet food currently.
It seems like last night she vomited. She appears bright, is moving around and hungry, although am feeding the small, liquid or soupy meals. All else, including egg production, is normal. (Except stool is runny which I suspect is due to all soft foods and meds)
The vet is concerned that an impaction may be further down but says that if that's the case, usually no stool would be going through her at all. (She has runny stool). Vet also says that sour crop can cause very slow crops. She's been on six doses now of Nystatin.
Have you seen sour crop lead to a very slow crop? Or does that sound more like an impaction further down? If an impaction further down, what would be a prognosis/treatment? Should she be improving by now?
This all has been going on for nearly a month now and getting more concerned.
