Ya, massage the crop with some oil in it... remember, Cathryn, you had mentioned to me to definitely not use canola oil. I used grapeseed oil for my girl Sammy when I thought she was having some trouble with her crop after all the antibiotics. I'm thinking that if he has been straining... the blockage is in the lower part of his intestine, and may be backed up all the way to his crop. That's a big blockage. That could mean that the blockage is closer to the vent. You think? Could he be de-wormed again, oil massaged in his crop with some alfalfa and things?

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.
