These are awesome tips for keeping her vent from drying out, thank you! The vet believes she somehow suffered a blunt force trauma rather than a predator attack.It would be helpful to see pictures of her wound and vent. I would clean all wounds with warm saline and apply plain antibiotic ointment twice a day. The vent area should be soaked in warm soapy water or Epsom salts daily. Apply a mild ointment or cream to the area, and keep the prolapse moist until it can be pushed back inside, so that the tissue does not dry out. Honey, sugar syrup, vaseline, or hydrocortisone cream are some examples. Do you think that she was attacked and the predator attacked her vent? Is there any damage around her vent?
