3yr ISA Brown with Sour Crop. Very small amounts of runny poop and urates in her recovery pen each day.
Started administering oil and massaging crop. Syringed ACV and pulled food and water for 1st 12 hours. Next day, crop still very full. Started giving 5ml of Miconazole Nitrate in am and pm while continuing with the massaging routine (alternating between avocado oil and mineral oil). Day two, I gave her water back and added ACV and Spectinomycin. Day 4, still no better. I began the puke-assist. Would do 3 pukes with breaks in between morning and night. Each time, very stinky and brown liquid with some small grass bits and sludge. Crop would never fully empty as I didn't want to overdo it but would get a fair bit out each time. Once I started the puke-assist, I would then follow up with a little water that had ACV and Spectinomycin added. Then I would offer yogurt with grit. She would eat and drink very little. Have also continued the Miconazole Nitrate morning and night. The crop is full of liquid every 12 hours and I keep attempting to empty (no way is she drinking this much liquid either, I don't know where it's coming from). I am monitoring all her consumption and she has no other access. I never feel anything hard or putty-like in her crop. Literally feels like just water in there. She is now just bones. Lost all body mass as we are about 10 days in. No vet in my area.
Her crop isn't emptying, meaning her gizzard isn't getting any of her crop contents. All I feel is bone and a watery crop. If impaction, I can't feel it. Something has blocked this passage. I'm looking for suggestions on what it could be and what else I can try.
