@molossus, thank you for your Assistance. Can you please advise what food you suggest that I remove from the parents? Regarding the other issues, if you, or anyone else in this forum has an issue with me, you may send me a private message and I'll give you the phone number of my attorney. This is a ...

We are looking into the legumes, but no one here knows what they are. We'll try the feed store. The corn isn't a problem, but I didn't know the oats needed to be cooked. Peas also aren't a problem. The parents have had a steady supply of oats, as suggested by the breeder we bought the mother from, b...

I fed him the Ringers solution again. This time he readily accepted it the same way he takes his formula. Once he was full to the amount we normally feed him I monitored him for about 5 minutes. Almost immediately the crop size started reducing, and within five minutes the size was less than where i...

At this time the crop is starting to reduce. I also agree that the vinegar could affect the good bacteria which is why I haven't used it yet. Either way, this Relestal is clearly not appropriate. As for the vinegar, that was from the grocery store :lol: Though I almost was laughed out of the pharmac...

My wife is saying there is puss coming out of his cloaca. I'll do some more research on this but as far as I can tell, adding a drop of vinegar to his food once his crop is empty could help. We'll also continue with the anti-biotics until this clears up. Our vet has been able to help us with our bir...

I fed the baby some Ringers Solution and it was the first time he has stood up all day, so things are improving. The pharmacy gave me Relestal for a pro-biotic which doesn't seem right to me. Can Relestal help with this? I also wasn't able to find cider vinegar, only Cane Vinegar. Will that help?

Also make sure the chick isn't eating the nesting material that will block the digestive track as well. If this is the case, use a coarser material (wood shavings, fine chips and hay, rather than saw dust; one should never use dust). Hope this helps. This seems like a possibility. We're using nesti...

@molossus, that is a nice theory accept for the fact that the parents haven't been feeding them much at all, we've taken over the hand feeding. As for the formula we use, the other, and younger, baby is eating the same exact food and hasn't had a problem. What we are feeding them is exactly what has...

Hello, We took our 9 day old baby IRN to the Vet today because it is having problems defecating, and the crop didn't empty. The Vet told us the bird wasn't fully formed and is missing an anus. This doesn't seem right, the hole we see, while bloated, and obviously in bad shape, is in the same exact l...
