My Cinnamon Queen has been sick for over a month. Her crop has been squishy and has had water for poop, secluded herself and was puffed up. I tried to treat her with over the counter yeast infection cream, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil and message, wasn't getting better so took her to a vet. He gave me stronger meds for sour crop and antibiotics. He took stool sample and said it was clear. That there was not much else he could do without blood work and/imaging. I don't have the money for that so I'm trying to keep her comfortable and feed. She has good and bad days with eating. She is starting to have a little more to her poop. Then today she pooped this. To me it looks like worms. Curious to maybe a next step and a confirmation that that's what this is and could this have been the problem all along? TIA for any input

She looks like she is molting. Could those be dropped feathers in her dropping? I would offer her some moistened chicken feed and soft cooked egg daily along with a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt with live cultures for probiotics. If you decide to worm, don’t use SafeGuard or fenbendazole while molting. It can affect feathers. Valbazen 1/2 ml orally, then repeated in 10 days is very good, but be sure to shake it well. You can order it through Tractor Supply to pick up if you cannot find it locally.
