I know you posted this forever ago but jsut in case you still check this, did you prolapsed vent gal end up ok? I have some 2 day olds and one got pasty butt. I very gently cleaned it off but I can see she must’ve been straining because it’s popped out a bit and like you wrote, it movesSorry to keep updating, but it's popped out even more nowI've tried three times to push it back in with prep H and it's just not working. Although, now it's popped out "evenly" so he's no longer pooing on himself. Should I just leave it out? He seems to be okay with it and the other two chicks aren't bothering with it, but oh my gosh I just can't even look at him. It's literally sticking out 1/2" or so. And it moves.Any ideas what it might be/how to fix it?
I would keep applying something like cortisone cream to the prolapse. Watch for more pasty butt or constipation. Chilled coconut oil can be cut into tiny pieces to feed and that may lubricate the vent. If you need more help, starting a new thread would be helpful.Hi can you update did your lil guy survive? Mine has the same thing. I’m reading posts saying he’s going to die and I’m just sick. He’s one week old and otherwise seems fine and eating and pooping normally. He had a little pasty butt that probably caused it.
