Sour crop

[peafowl_Lover]

My 2 or 3 year old hen has sour crop. I rang the vet and they said to get tablets in the pharmacy. I'm getting them tomorrow. I'm worried she won't survive till then, what can I do? I could give her electrolytes... apple cider vinegar? Is there anything I can do to make sure she survives to get the tablets?
Thanks

I believe you can give her monistat:

What kind of tablets did the vet prescribe?

How long has she had Sour Crop? Often a crop problem is a symptom of an underlying condition. Does she have any reproductive issues? Can you take a sample of her poop to the vet to have a fecal float to make sure worms are not part of the problem?

This article outlines how to treat crop problems, these are the methods I use when treating my own hens.

She's had it since last Saturday. It's actually a liquid the vet prescribed. It's called micostatin. 1.5ml three times a day.  Her background wasn't great before i got her. She was in a battery farm, and then her whole flock was killed by a fox. Then i got her after that. Maybe it's stress from past years that causes issues with her? She is on the bottom of the pecking order aswell so that doesn't help. Can worms cause missing feathers that aren't growing back as she is very scruffy and missing a few.
