On the 15th I discovered my hen with a prolapsed vent. I dont know how long she has had it before, since I wasn't home for 3 days. I cleaned her up as much as I could and let her rest in the basement. I didn't try anything because she was bleeding (there was also infection). The next day I tried pushing the vent back in several times after cleaning it and putting honey on her, it fell right back out every time. So I decided to leave her alone as another post stated, and she is feeling much much better. She is actually scratching and making a mess of my basement, but her vent is still hanging out. It is still infected and the antiseptics I rub on her doesnt help. Now her vent has black hardened, something on her vent that wont wash off along with the infection. I'm so frustrated as to what to do, and I would really rather not have to put her down because she's my pet.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
