Swollen chick vent

[5arrowsfarm]

I have a polish chick that is about a month old. She got pasty butt a few weeks ago that I thought I treated. Her vent is now swollen and gets “clogged” fairly easily but it’s not pasty butt. She’s in the house so that I can keep it clean. I’ve been rinsing it with warm water and applying antibiotic ointment and Preparation H twice a day. She has ACV in her water. She has lots of energy and eats and drinks fine. How can I get the swelling to go down? Thank you!

I would stop the hemorrhoid cream. I would just keep the vent area, inside and out, lubricated with vegetable oil or vaseline. I also would give it 1 ml of mineral oil or coconut oil mixed into a little cooked egg or moist chick feed. Make sure it gets it all. Hopefully, this is just some chronic constipation.

Ok, I’ll do that! Thanks!!
