Chicken with prolapsed vent that won't stay back in

[san carlos]

Our year old bantam black Modern Game chicken was laying happily since February but two weeks ago she suffered a prolapsed vent. I washed her and pushed it back in with Prep. H. She seemed fine for a week but it came out again and now no matter how often we tuck her back together, it comes out with every tiny bowel movement. We isolated her in a dark room to discourage laying, we have been putting Pick-no-More on many times a day but can't keep her from pecking at it. We even tried to make the kind of collar a dog wears after surgery. Now we see some oozing white discharge so we put antibiotics in her water two days ago. The vent is getting scabby and tender. She doesn't like me to touch it any more. Are we losing her?

Any ideas?

If you hadn't put the antibiotics in her water I would say to soup pot (process) her. Some will continue to prolapse no matter what you do. I hope she does turn around for you.

did you allow some time for the Prep H to work?
did you squirt with saline or betadine?
are you continuing to use Prep H?
have you smeared with antibiotic ointment?
