Sour Crop

[Spoliedhens21]

I have a hen that I was treating for impacted/sour crop. We have two more days of monistat left. She is definitely better but her crop is still squishy and enlarged in the morning. I was wondering if you can use monistat longer than seven days or if anyone has other suggestions? She is getting wet crumble daily and I started adding a probiotic in her water today. She is drinking quite a bit she eats some but not as much as normal. She was also dewormed with safeguard two months ago.

Since there are still two more days, I would wait until the seven days are over then reevaluate. Are you giving it once or twice a day? And what is the dosage you are giving her?

I’m giving it twice a day and about 1/4 inch of the suppository each time.

I think that the dosage used by Azygous is 1/2 inch of the cream in a tube, or 1/3 of a suppository given orally twice daily. Other antifungals used to treat sour crop are Nystatin suspension or Medistatin powder added to water, or acidified copper sulfate 1/4 tsp per gallon of water. Here are some links for products:
