I wasn't going to post this thread, but I’m truly stumped at this point, and have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do.
I made plans in advance to leave tomorrow to go out of town until Monday. Well of course, I came home this afternoon to find my bantam hen Lacey with a relatively sever prolapse. Me and her have done this once or twice before, and she’s a fighter, but I don’t know what to do if I’m not going to be here.
She’s peppy as ever as if nothing is wrong other than the huge prolapse coming from her vent. I have high hopes for her recovery, but I don’t know what to do if I’m planning on leaving.
We have a great neighbor who loves to come feed, water, and let birds out twice a day, but I can’t give her the entire prolapse protocol, and I don’t know anyone who has the time for it. That’s a soak twice a day, calcium daily, antibiotic herbs daily, honey/hydrocortisone/Veterycin application twice daily, and whatever else she needs depending on her condition. I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do.
I don’t know how to stay home, that’s barely an option, but I don’t know how to leave either. Is there something I’m not thinking of? I don’t think taking her off the property is a good idea for obvious reasons, so I can’t take her to someone’s house. I don’t really trust just any chicken person I know with this either. I have no idea what to do at this point.
Thank you for any recommendations, Im feeling really defeated at this point.
