@BantamLover21, Thank you ! As soon as I received your response I retired her to a darker and calm area of the house ! I must also add that I will be leaving her to soak a little longer ( I was originally doing 15 minutes)....She definitely felt more relaxed today when it came down to cleaning...

@ten chicks; thank you for the link and your response . So far I can say that the prolapse seems less inflamed than yesterday when I discovered it ! it isn't pulsing as much and its "trying" to stay in ! thinking of getting her some yogurt to get some good bacteria in her system !Really don't...
