I have an almost 6 year old Auracana hen. Usually healthy with a good appetite. The day before yesterday when she was going for food I saw liquid leaking from her beak. I watched her for a while and she still wanted to eat. I picked her up and her crop was huge and squishy. I helped her drain some of it, and put oregano oil in their water. I let her have some kefir and olive oil. We repeated this yesterday morning as well. She's been drinking lots of water, and ends up with it spilling from her beak as her crop overflows. Up until last night she still wanted to eat, despite the big squishy crop. I don't feel any mass in the crop, just squish.
Last night I carefully helped her vomit some of this up and brought her inside and tucked her in a crate. My husband gave her a dose of miconazole this morning and let her have some water. I checked on her when I got home from work tonight and let her drink a bit more. My husband just now gently picked her up and she had a little bit of crop overflow.
She's currently quite weak and I'm very worried. I'll give her another dose of miconazole in just a bit but I don't know if I can let her eat or drink anything else? She definitely hasn't eaten anything since yesterday evening. The weakness is very worrying. I'd appreciate any and all advice. I can call our vet on Monday but I'm not sure what to do now. Offer her a little food?
