Marla, Lets put our heads together and problem solve this; I need your knowledge and to have you help sort this out like we have in the past together. The rooster had a prolapse from straining. He was wormed the night it was recommended, full crop not emptying, given watery feed, then his crop started emptying but he still has diarrhea. What ever is blocking him loosened up a bit after being wormed. I say bulk to help move it out it out of him in the form of alfalfa leaves and dry old fashioned oatmeal or steam rolled oats. It's what we'd use to stop diarrhea in chicks and to remove feed with mycotoxins quickly from a chicken with mycotoxin poisoning.
The honey was an ingenious idea after washing and soaking his inflamed and dirty tissues. What do you think?
There is always the chance he ate a nail or piece of glass...I'd still try the bulk.

I haven't had a blocked crop to deal with yet. I think I remember some talk about using veg oil or something to help move stuff thru the crop along with the massage. Not sure why no one has told you to use oil yet though. I hope you can get it moving. He may be developing an infection from the impacted crop. Get it moving is the first step then you'll probably have to treat the infection.
Wishing you and Romeo the best!
