Vomiting hen not eating and is weak

[Clucking_Caramel]

My hen Pearl was eating less and less, so we brought her inside. My stepdad noticed her crop was squishy, and pressed on it to see if she'd throw up. According to him it was A LOT and it was yellow and smelled badly. Then, a sac of orange came out of her mouth like a blob, that splattered on the ground. We brought her in and gave her nyastatin. She has garlic water, and when offered plain greek yogurt or apple baby food, she won't eat. This morning her crop was full again and I emptied it. It was so strange because it was yellow, mucous-y, and had what looked like orange/brown specs in it. I emptied her crop, but then it was almost immediately full again? I emptied it again and now there is still some gunk in there, but a whole lot less. I gave her her morning dose of nyastatin and offered more food because she has lost so much weight, but she refused.

There is a tiny spec of poop in her bin this morning.

Can you post a picture of what comes out of her crop, and some of the hen too?

Now she wont eat, has a gurgling sound from her crop, rancid breath, and is almost too weak to stand

Sounds like sour or an impacted crop.

Ok I have been treating her sour crop and she is drinking water, but barely if at all eats on her own. She has lost a lot of weight and I am worried.

No I have given her probiotics in her water.

Try giving her some electrolytes they will help with the dehydration.

Absolutely. She was starting to feel great yesterday and then this morning got worse. She threw up again and this pile of woodshavings came out. Needless to say the bin she is being kept in now is lined with newspaper.

Currently her crop is almost completely empty.

Sounds like sour or impacted crop. But I don’t know how to treat it.

Is taking her to a vet an option?
