So glad she's on the mend.
Can I ask a silly question??? What is an impacted crop? and what were the symptoms that made you realise that something was wrong? |

Its not a silly question at all, its the first one I've ever seen. I didn't know if it was called impacted or compacted, silly me 
Anyway she was just standing about in the shade and we at first thought the sun had got to her. By evening I knew things were not right so put her in the cat basket and bought her in the house for the night. Asked OH to take a look at her and he found it straight away. It felt just like a golf ball in her crop.
I tried to clear it with oil and massage but couldn't shift it and thats where the vets took over. You would know it if you felt it. They removed a lot of very long dry grass which I suspect was fed to her by my 5yearold granddaughter.
I had a young pullet a few weeks ago with sour crop. That is a large crop that looks as if they are stuffed, but the crop is all squidgy. I spoke to the farming vet about her and got very different treatment then than this time when I saw the small animal vet.
George is really good today and Im going to let her out tomorrow. |
