    prolapsed vent!

    I cant take a picture of it right now but i will post one asap. It looks like 90% of it is black and I just tried to scub it off but shes in clear pain when i do and i wasnt able to get it off. Is culling the only option if it cant be removed:(?

    prolapsed vent!

    Weve applied the preparatio H. Waiting for swelling to go down now. As soon as it does ill push it in. We have a towel in the crate as bedding. Should we try to completely clean off the feathers around the vent first? Its mostly clean just has a little bit of poop on then
