I have had a recovering PMV pigeon for a month. She had been doing well from the very first day, eating a lot etc...
On Friday she stopped eating but her crop remained full. It was soft and mushy. On Saturday I administered some Nystatin to combat fungi growth in her crop.
Yesterday evening (Sunday) I removed 37 ml of dark grey liquid from the crop doing the reverse of tube feeding. I found the syringe could not draw out any more liquid so I assumed that there was none left.
This morning the crop felt mushy again and I removed another 22 ml of liquid.
Is it possible that liquid comes back up to the crop from the next compartment of the digestive system (stomach ?) ?
I wonder if the crop is blocked from the rest of the digestive system or is it the stomach can't digest food and sends it back up.
The poops are a white liquid. There is no dark green compartment.
