I use Acidophyllus (spelling?)for slow crop/sour crop. You
can purchase it in any store that carries vitamins. Try to
get the capsules so you can open one and mix the powder
with 5 cc's of warm pedialyte. Gently massage the crop to
try to loosen the packed food. Sometimes I mix a capsule
in the hand feed once a day as a precautionary measure,
mostly with smaller australians that are prone to crop
problems. I've also heard of people using baking soda and
warm water in the same manner, but I don't know the
correct measurement. I hope this helps!
