regurg every 4 meals - crypto?

mike17l Nov 04, 2005 09:54 PM

this is not about a corn, but i posted it in the health forum and doubt that it will get looked at much there, and i know alot of corn people are very knowledgable on the subject.
here is what i posted in the health forum:
i dont know much about crypto, i know it causes regurges and the squirts, but that is all i know. i have an alterna that layed eggs about 4 months ago. she retained one egg that had to be "popped" out, it was soft and reaked. well i administered baytril for the next two weeks to help prevent any infection, incase some of the egg stayed in her. well she ate 5 times and then regurged the 5th one. then she ate 4 times and regurged on the 4th. then again regurged the 4th meal. the first two times she regurged the meals were slightly larger than the previous couple meals, this last time the regurged meal was the same size. the fecal matter has been slightly watery. any thoughts? crypto?

...try bringing in a fecal sample (or the regurge sample) to the vet next time...
There are multiple possibilities for regurges... A vet can help you rule out or possibly ID the cause(s). I'd quarrantine her from the rest of your animals just in case. It's impossible to diagnose this sort of thing over the internet.
