I have a 2 week old teeny banty chick with a swollen hiney she's not pasted up her little hiney is swollen and distended and her vent red and cracked and she has a hard time going to the bathroom she can get a little out but not much it looks like a fever blister(alway way to really describe it because it's not really a scab it just kinda closes up and her vent has a slight film over it i've taken her in the house and cleaned her up and i've got a small syringe with a skinny plastic tip that i've used to clean her up with and it seems once i do this she makes a weird peep and goes to the bathroom like normal and she eats and drinks and runs around like all the others and as far as i know no one is pecking at her that i've seen i've tried all the suggestions i've found here but nothing seems to work i'm going to try vasoline when i get home and see if that does any better i've also got some neosporin with pain relief i was going to try and i keep their bedding clean and their water clean i'm not sure what else to do
