I have a chick with a firm belly and a protruding vent. I'm guessing constipation. I'm going to give her olive oil and an epsom salt bath or two. I'm thinking about putting vaseline on a q-tip and putting it in her vent very carefully and not very far in. Any thoughts on this idea? Anything else that firm belly and protruding vent could be a sign of? If I'm treating her, is she likely to *not* make it?
