Urgent Cockatiel with Full Crop Won’t Empty

[Sunny895]

Hi, i have a baby’s cockatiel that is being hand fed at the moment . I gave her food yesterday before I went to bed it was 10pm this morning her crop was still full. It’s now 5pm next day and her crop is still full. I need your help and recommendations. I read that I can give her unflavored Pedialyte every two hours but I’m not sure what to do.

Sounds like crop statis.

Given that the contents of the crop have not moved at all, you will need to empty the chicks crop, a vet can do that for you.

For future reference, when noticing a slow in the crop movements you can use a couple of different methods, apple cider vinegar with mother or papaya,
