My baby tiel is 4 weeks old and suffering from crop stasis. He sees the vet everyday to get the old food removed and the crop flushed. Luckily she's not charging (although when this is over I'm definitely gonna give her something for all the trouble).
For the last four days (at least) his crop has not been empty in the morning. We've been flushing the crop, I give him apple sauce to help with digestion and made him a crop bra (although I'm not sure if the crops overstretched, just being cautious). I feed him small amounts more frequently to make sure his digestive system isn't overloaded. I'm just wondering if anyone has had similar problems and how long the slow crop took to resolve itself. I make sure he's kept warm and the food temperature is warm. I've tried everything and am in despair over my poor baby. Never had this problem with my baby lovebirds, but this is the second tiel I've had problems with. The first didn't make it
