Re: [AlpacaTalk] Hen - Sour 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?

Maybe she needs a bit of honey for energy? I have given my sick hens
honey in yogurt on a number of occasions and always seems to perk them up.
I used to use a lot of GSE until I experienced the amazing antibiotic
power of (real) goldenseal. Most Goldenseal on the market is not potent
and therefore folks do not have much success with it. I found a great
source with a tested high levels of the active alkaloids from Sleepy
Hollow Herb Farm. There are up here a bit north of me in NW Ga. Their
web site would be something similiar to their name. I highly recommend
it. As a holistic health practitioner I have started suggested to my
clients that they keep a supply of it on hand at all times. It is
perfectly safe to take internally and is effective against pathogenic
bacteria and yeast/fungus (candida), but does not disturb the good gut
bacteria. It can also be used externally on cuts, wounds, etc. Last
summer I cut the top of my finger nearly off with the mower.....ran in
the house bleeding all over the place; cold water, pour on the GS and
tape the finger tip back on and went back to finish mowing. Kept it
clean and goldensealed up and never got an infection even from that
nasty mower blade. It is also effective against the antibiotic
resistant staph that is running rampant (at least around here) and I
have used it to heal up a deep necrotic wound on my arm (likely brown
recluse bite). I put it on everything, both my dds and my animals.
I know you probably can't get it shipped in fast enough to help your
lady, but thought I would mention it for future references.
Good luck Heather.
Warmly, Janice
