try giving it some stewed apples, a tin of baby food would be good. I was told that it cleans out the crop if there is something wrong in the crop. it gets heated to the same temps as the formula.

I dont think there is a problem with the crop because it empties normally

I would have thought regurgatating the food up wouldnt be emptying the crop normally.

Most of the time she only regurates a little bit and then her crop is almost full. The food thats left gets digested properly
