Baby chicken with a swollen vent and struggling to poop. What do I do?

[azygous]

Yes.

 

[Harun]

I keep a tube of Preparation H in my Chicken Witch Doctor kit, and swear by it. It has worked for poopy, swollen, and sore chick butts over the years.

Preparation H ointment or cream?

 

[Harun]

Yes.

Just got some preparation H. Do I apply it on the vent itself(not inside) or do I apply it around the vent?

 

[azygous]

Use it sparingly on the swollen tissue.

 

[Tonyroo]

Use a cotton swab to apply it, gently dap and roll the swab on the area.

When I picked up my first 4 baby chicks one of them had bad pasty butt and what looks to be a swollen vent. I clean the pasty but regularly but it's vent is very swollen and it struggles to poop. I feel so bad for it and don't know how to help it. I don't know if it's vent is prolapsed or not but I desperately need help. Here's a picture of what it looks like and I know, it's terrible but I'm new to raising chicks.
