Is a vet an option? If not, can you bring her in your house?

Vet is not an option. BUt I have put her in a dog cage and she is on my porch next to my kitchen door so I can keep a close eye on her

Do you think a laxative would help?

I think tubing fluids will help.

I’m afraid I’ll put the tube in the wrong pipe

I’m queasy just thinking about “what if”
Isn’t there an easier way? Dulcolax? Senakot?

I always use water first. And read the label on those, they all say to take with water.

I agree, hydration first.
I also agree, plain water and some poultry vitamins (direct dose).

If it's hot and she's not wanting to drink the garlic water - give her plain water - see if she will drink that on her own. Most birds I have every had with a crop issue will usually drink plenty on their own unless they don't like the "taste" of it.

Once you have her drinking, read the article below for helpful information.
You DO NOT want to give a Laxative. Stool softener (which is not a laxative) can be given IF the crop is hard and boggy and not moving AFTER you have tried to resolve the crop problem with fluids, coconut oil and a little time.

My dear helpers!
you guys have been so wonderful in coaching me thru this.The mass has definitely reduced in size. but it is still there.... i gave her nutri drench and she literally pooped it ALL out in 30 seconds.... nothing solid came out just the liquid. would this even help? I'm trying to get the fiber out and this is not very encouraging.... what can i do more?

What does the crop feel like now - is it hard, doughy, etc.?
I would still work on hydration. Is she drinking on her own at all?
