emmab Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hey guys, Just wanted to write and say thank you for the fantastic advice i have received on this forum. My cockerel Jackson has been suffering with sour crop. We took him to the vets and his advice completely contradicted the advice i had read on here (and other websites I had looked at too) we administered baytril as we were instructed to but a week later there was no improvement in jackson. So, I did things the omlet way! Jackson has been in the kitchen for 48 hours now and i have followed the advice on here word for word. This morning the improvement in him is incredible. His crop doesnt feel swollen and he is really lively. I am going to keep a close eye on him but i think tomorrow he will be ok to go out with his girls. Thank you omlet, you have once again proved invaluable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolly Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I can second that wholeheartedly emmab! Took Roxy to vets last week with northern fowl mites and after he treated her with the same stuff I'd done already , I tentatively suggested Ivomec Eprinex which many have recommended on the forum (even though it's for cattle and not licenced for poultry). He said they'd order some in and when I returned the following week for it, he said he'd looked into it himself and it "would be his treatment of choice" for mites from now on! I reckon the forumites should get a consultation fee back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Glad to hear he's on the mend - antibs wouldn't help with a yeast infection like sour crop - they might make it worse though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherinedon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 sour crop as I understand is a yeast infection like thrush so why would he give antibiotics. Antibiotics CAUSE yeast infections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
