My rooster has sour crop, fainting, and white fluid. What to do?

Question

I have a pet rooster and he is a year and 10 months old. I just realized he has sour crop which has increased alot. He occasionally faints due to lack of oxygen probably because of this white fluid thingy that blocks his throat maybe. I have no vet near me and i dont know what to do. Please please help me i am afraid one day he might faint during night when i wont be able to save him. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | 1 year and 9 months old

Unfortunately, this is an issue that requires veterinary care to treat. If your rooster is sick to the point of fainting/gasping for air, that is considered a medical emergency that requires treatment in person. Antibiotics/antifungals, cleaning out the crop, etc are needed to get him feeling better. You can try to clear sour crop at home by separating him from the flock, withholding food for a few hours, giving water and trying to massage out any obstructions, however since he is already to the point where he is losing consciousness and has white fluid coming from him, he needs to be seen by a vet, even if they are a bird-specific vet, ASAP.
