Rikus v Rensburg, [26 Aug 2023 at 12:50:10]: Good day all the Exotic specialists. If got a 2 month old cockatiel that swallowed the feeding tube. Its +- 2cm in length and 2mm diameter. It still seems to be in the crop. Any suggestions on Tx? Regards Henry Labuschagne, [26 Aug 2023 at 12:56:22]: You should be able to manoeuvre it out manually under Isoflurane general anaesthetic. I sometimes use my flexible crocodile forceps to grab the piece in the crop Rob Jackson, [26 Aug 2023 at 17:12:09]: You might be able to use your otoscope to see and grab it whilst it is sleeping.
