Thank you.

You gave her a stool softener in pill form?

The antifungal was Nystatin. Her crop does not feel hard - rather, large and squishy at this point, but during this course of illness has also been empty. No foul odor. No probiotic was prescribed, though I have given her yogurt. (She's not eating it now, but did before.). Lower belly not...

I have a 4 year old hen, Billie, who about a month ago (?) had two issues that seemed to coincide. She laid a shell-less egg, something that is a recurrent problem (egg shells and oyster shells available) and she seemed to have sour crop. I took her to the vet to check her out. He said rather...

I love my girls more every day! This site has been very helpful, though unfortunately, I don't think to visit unless I have a problem! Glad to see everyone and thanks for the thread.

Hi all, My bottle of Elector PSP has separated. I spoke with the manufacturer who says that, legally, he has to advise against reconstituting it. He was unwilling to elaborate on the "legally" part of it. I'm wondering if anyone has had success with reconstituting it? Secondly, does anyone...

Thank you. I was pretty sure of my decision, but she made me positive this morning. It was very clear that she was done. And I've been through this with people, so I understand "done."

Oh, and he is suggestion of going straight to surgery was based on not getting a definitive answer and wanting to save us money.
