I have a 3.8 year old hen that has developed sour crop. I have been giving her miconazole 1/4 supository twice a day, today is day 4. she is also on an antibiotic for suspected bacterial infection at the same time. she is pooping multiple small poops with a runny urates that are light yellow, a day and her crop is about size of a golf ball with seeds that have been in there all week. she is trying to eat as of yesterday, but takes a few nibbles of her crumbles/mash and some grit. I saw her drink water a couple times. I have been massaging her crop in a upward motion and today it still smells, but not as strong. she is in the house, sitting fluffed up and after I massage her she pants, then settles down. her abdomen is flat. no internal or external parasites. I dont know what else to do. I dont know why her crop is not getting better. this happened after she finished her molt. I dont think its impacted otherwise she wouldnt be pooping. is a molasses flush appropriate with the contents in crop still smelling? I dont know what else to do. should her crop still smell at this point? I am hoping someone has been in this situation and has a solution they could share. thank you.
