I am desperate
My blue copper maran seemingly has impacted crop because her crop is hard and feels full of sand. I’ve tried all the noninterventional remedies I’ve found on this forum.
For the past 7 days we have 1. Isolated her 2. Put her inside so she can’t eat more sand 3. Withheld food for a 24 hour period 3. Have administered olive oil and regular massaging every few hours, every day
The first night she pooped a big pile of sand but that’s the only sand we’ve seen her expel, though depending on how much she’s been eating, she does still pass poops at this time. The crop is softer and smaller than it was 7 days ago, but otherwise no change. Shes bored and annoyed being in chicken jail, but other than that she isn’t exhibiting any other symptoms or seem in any distress. We only noticed her crop because she came over to cuddle like she always does and I felt it.
We’ve been quoted by the vet $1600 for an initial radiograph of crop/assorted treatment, but we just can’t make that work.
What more can we do for our girl? I appreciate everyone and anyone’s help, I’m sure this is a heavily covered topic but I’ve searched this sub and I’ve tried every remedy I’ve come across. Thank you frens.
