[AlpacaTalk] hen- sour crop
Ok, so this isn't about alpacas at all, but does anyone have more
advice for a hen with sour crop/previously blocked crop?
I gave her mineral oil, raw yoghurt, water, 5 drops GSE and water
yesterday. Today I found her not much changed although her crop is
smaller. A very long piece of poo which was obviously hers was in the
pen. Long grass caused the initial blockage. But her crop is still very
sour. I'm forcing water, mineral oil, and yoghurt today, and gave one
dose of 6 ml water with 5 drops GSE to help with any infection in the
crop. But her tail is still down, she doesn't want to eat, and she
appears pretty depressed.
Any suggestions besides surgery?
