Deep wound below cloaca

There is what I identify as a section of the large intestine that is protruding. It now looks yellowish because it has formed like a scab....it is the result of the caked Vit. E oil and the creams I have applied. It is hard to keep that loop clean. I can push it in and it comes back out and dangles. It seems more inflamed now. Perhaps I could also try the Preparation H that another responder sent regarding prolapse. As last resort, I could take her to a vet, who just to look at her, will charge $54. That amount seems like a very expensive start. Would you like for me to take a better set of photos?
Hello! I'm very sorry to read that your hen is having issues. Are you saying that you an actual loop of intestine is looped out of her vent?

That is an entirely different situation than a normal prolapse where the hen's oviduct turns inside out and part of that tissue hangs outside of the vent.
 
It's a tough call..you can follow the advice and use preparation h and the advise the links give for prolapse. That's what I would do. But that's just me. I also am one who will euthanize rather than put one through so much. It is another option to be considered. At least settle the option in your own mind and heart. If a vet expense isn't currently something you can do euthanizing may be your only other option. However, wait and see what other advice folks offer. Maybe one will come along that will work for you and her. :fl:hugs
