    2. The dose of apple cider vinegar is sprayed on an empty crop (diluted to the manufacturer's recommendations), which is injected into the side of the mouth.
    3. 12 hours after the Apple Cider vinegar administration, a few sips of erratic water can be offered together with a small amount (teaspoon) soft solid food.
    4. Monitor to arrange the sour crop, does not return and gradually builds up to normal rations of feed and water.
