Urgent Cockatiel has swollen crop?

[aurelius]

Hey all,

I don't know if this is a normal crop for my tiel Pepper but I noticed it today. (The feather plucking and dry, itchy was from before I got her, and I'm working on taking her to the vet for it. She's also molting so there are feathers growing in. For this post I'm mostly concerned about her crop.)

It definitely doesn't look normal to me. Help!!! Soonest I can get a vet appointment is for a week from now!!!!!!

I could be wrong but it looks like she may have a ruptured Air sac. @Milo

she did fly into a window the other day when startled. it wasn't a bad one, she's had worse before, but it definitely worried me. could this have caused it??? I have never even heard of a ruptured air sac before and don't know what to do about it if this is the case. I only just now noticed the crop but it's possible she's had it for longer and I didnt realize.
