Bramble Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think I have an ex-batt with sour crop so want some live natural yoghurt but am surprised by how many different sorts there seem to be - do I need one with probiotics, full fat, low fat etc? Which one do you all use? Im wondering if Yakult or similar would be better? Sorry, did warn you it was a dim question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Live probiotic is best. I'm sure Yakult would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thank you! One other question - how much should I give her (I suspect the others will all want some too! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yes, they love it to bits, in fact it gets flicked everywhere just a 250g tub is fine with some Bokashi Bran mixed in. Also put ACV in the water. I'd have a check around their environment as it is sometimes (but not always) caused by the crop not emptying properly - long grass will block it up.

Bramble Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks for all that advice Claret ... Realistically, what are her chances of recovery? She is much quieter today than yesterday, I have massaged her crop and it doesn't feel as squidgy as it did yesterday, but she really didn't want to eat anything this morning, not even the yoghurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I managed to cure a bout of sour crop using the yogurt and also Daktarin oral gel (you can get it from a chemist). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 That's my next port of call - the chemist, for Daktarin Gel, thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 If she won't eat or drink, they syringe feed her with some water containing a probiotic powder; Avipro or the Crossgates ones are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thank you, I'll do that ... just wish I wasn't at work ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 PS, meant to say, I did give her some Nutridrops this morning, might that help to keep her going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yes, they are excellent. I'm not sure but I think they also contain some probiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
