Chick has a protruding vent and pasty butt? Help! *PICS*

Oatmeal, grind it up into something like a powder form, and offer that to your chick, and make sure you keep it warm with water available, give it a few hours to a few days , see how all your chicks will love to eat that oatmeal..! its very good for them..!! good luck, your chick should be better in no time .:jumpy:jumpy:jumpy:jumpy:thumbsup:clap:highfive:
 
check out this site ,The Happy Chicken Coop. for more pasty butt info, except i would do the last wet wipe & drying ,after using liquid colloidal silver on the vent area to help kill germs & any type of bacteria & kill viruses, off in the area &also be feeding the ground up people type oatmeal that will help the chick, but before any problem arise in your chicks, on the very first day feed them this green gro gel for the first meal and for the first few hours, that should keep any pasty buy away in the first place, here is the gro gel info look on e bay and others places on line must have Gro Gel Plus B (With Bacteria) For Baby Chicks. I found it here & its a good price for Gro Gel, GroGel Plus B (100 doses) - My Pet Chicken

Sorry to keep updating, but it's popped out even more now

I've tried three times to push it back in with prep H and it's just not working. Although, now it's popped out "evenly" so he's no longer pooing on himself. Should I just leave it out? He seems to be okay with it and the other two chicks aren't bothering with it, but oh my gosh I just can't even look at him. It's literally sticking out 1/2" or so. And it moves.

Any ideas what it might be/how to fix it?
I know you posted this forever ago but jsut in case you still check this, did you prolapsed vent gal end up ok? I have some 2 day olds and one got pasty butt. I very gently cleaned it off but I can see she must’ve been straining because it’s popped out a bit and like you wrote, it moves
 
Hi can you update did your lil guy survive? Mine has the same thing. I’m reading posts saying he’s going to die and I’m just sick. He’s one week old and otherwise seems fine and eating and pooping normally. He had a little pasty butt that probably caused it.

I would keep applying something like cortisone cream to the prolapse. Watch for more pasty butt or constipation. Chilled coconut oil can be cut into tiny pieces to feed and that may lubricate the vent. If you need more help, starting a new thread would be helpful.
