Help Please - Baby Bird's Crop is still Full... (Update + 2 Pics)

Thanks, Giselle for the heating tips.

Here are two pictures taken about 30 minutes ago. Draven is doing SO much better. The first day at the vet, he weighed 77 grams with a partially full crop. This morning, he weighed 130 grams with an empty crop! I'm so HAPPY. Thanks everyone for your help!

You can see his little "crop bra."

It's a lifesaver. He's going back to the vet on Monday to get everything checked out.

Oh my gosh, what a sweet little darling he is!

I'm so glad he's alright now, you must show photos as he grows up lol.

What a cutie!!! I must have missed one of your posts, but is he a Jenday or Sun? Or maybe I'm completely off?

Bless his little heart. Poor little guy. Having to go through so much for nothing. Good thing you found a knowledgable vet. I hope the little guy starts feeling better soon. Please keep us updated. He sure is a cutie!

Aww! Draven is the cutest!

I'm glad to hear that the little guy is getting through this..

Yep, Argranade is right, Draven is a Sun Conure.

Draven went to the vet this morning and the vet removed his crop bra. My mother fed him recently and his crop has been emptying without the extra support!!!

I'm so happy, I really hope Draven's going to be ok now.
