Hi !
I'm having some troubles with my 17~ weeks Marans.
2 weeks ago, I perched her in the coop and her head dropped below her, and she vomited some yellowish mucus. I checked her immediately and her crop was and squishy and full of liquid.
I thought right away that it was a sour crop.
I took her, isolated he in a big cage and I've been trying to heal her ever seen.
First day I removed water and food and the crop drained a lot. I started her on Monistat, 2 times a day. Long story short, my vet didn't want to prescribe her anti-fungal because it was like 150$ and he didn't think it was worth the price, mostly because there's an underlying problem usually and the sour crop is a secondary disease to that health problem. Anyway, Monistat is 20$ for 7 days, I wanted to try it.
On the second day her crop was almost flat. I fed her, in small portions.
The 3rd morning, no liquid in her crop. I gave her a bit of food and her medication, thinking we were on the right track.
That evening I noticed a bit of liquid again. The next morning, we were back with a big squishy crop.
I finished the Monistat and I'm trying Canesten now, because its a different molecule, it's a cream and it's easier to administer. I saw a couple of posts where people were having a better success with Canesten.
There's absolutely no improvement.
I need to make her vomit every morning. She's not even fighting me. I noticed a very thick liquid, yellow-orange. There was streaks of white, feed not fully digested, also very small greyish lumps (almost thought it was bugs). A bit of smell, but my nose is stuffed, hard to say if it was sour or you know? Vomit smell.
I tried some emollient this morning (not laxative). Maybe there's an impaction somewhere, in the gizzard, and it could help, but I didn't see any improvements. I don't know what happened to the crop to drain and get full again last week.
She's still very alert, very engaging, wants to fly on my shoulder, wants to eat and drink. She's just not comfortable, she's trying to move her crop. She perches at night in her cage.
I just don't know what to do with her, how to make her better, to drain that crop so it stays drained. It's been 10 days...
Any ideas?
