In the Brooder
Hi everyone, my Big Mama ( almost 2 year old jersey giant) had her first prolapse on Monday. I was able to get the prolapse back in. Now, so a few days later, she is penguined and seeming to struggle to poo? Her vent is constantly contracting and I am unsure how to help her.
When she prolapsed, there was an egg shell I had to pull out so I know there’s a chance the yolk ruptured inside her. But there’s just so much that it could be and I am unsure how to help.
I have her separated with nutri drench water, gave her an Epsom salt bath and palpated the area and got some poo to come out, and then gave her some Tylan 50 in case of some sort of infection as it’s the only broad antibiotic I have on hand.
I should note her comb is still red and she will eat if you put food by her. She just seems so uncomfortable. I didn’t feel an egg today, so I don’t think she’s egg bound.
Could it be simply inflamed still from the prolapse and just needs to calm down or?
