Dripping + bleeding vent (warning - graphic photos)

[SandyK]

I've had this happen a couple times now. I keep them separated and clean them up in a warm Epsom salt bath first. Then push everything back in applying the Prep H. What I read was to keep them in a dark place so they would not be laying for a while. I applied the Prep H a few times each day. Finally after the second or third day everything was staying in place. After a week, I let them back outside with the flock, making sure things stayed looking good. Both times my girls were fine and I still have them a year or so later.

HEY I KINDA HAVE THAT HAPPENING TO MY CHICKEN TOO...MY CHICKEN IS A VERY OLD ANDALUSIAN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE STARTED BLEEDING FROM HER VENT...MOM SAID THAT SHE LAID 2 EGGS OR SOMETHING AND THEY BOTH HAD BLOOD ON THEM...(I THOUGHT CHICKENS CAN LAY ONLY ONE EGG AT A TIME?)
WELL I FOUND HER ALONE ON THE ROOST AND I GRABBED HER AND CHECKED IT OUT.THERE WAS A LOT OF BUILD UP AND BLOOD AND POOP SO I TOOK HER DOWN TO THE HOUSE AND SAT DOWN AND CHECKED IT OUT SOME MORE. THEN I GRABBED TOWELS (WET AND DRY) AND WENT TO WORK...I CLEANED IT UP AS BEST I COULD AND IT REALLY DIDN'T LOOK THAT BAD BUT THERE WAS STILL A LITTLE BIT OF BLEEDING. I PUT HER IN DRY PET CARRIER AND I'M GOING TO WAIT UNTIL I GO TO BE TO CHECK ON HER AGAIN.(SHE HAS FOOD AND WATER) I MIGHT CLEAN IT UP SOME MORE AND PUT SOME ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT AROUND THE AREA.
ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD DO...I THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING HER A BATH BUT I DON'T THINK SHE NEEDS IT BECAUSE SHE ACTS FINE...AND BESIDES I DON'T THINK MY MOM WOULD LIKE THAT!
PLEASE HELP HER!
