EMERGENCY! Prolapsed vent?!?!

[Traffie Chickens]

I’m not sure what’s happening, but I just came outside to see my favorite hen like this. Please help!

She is keeping her eyes closed, and laying down, I thought she was dead when I found her.

Looks like a prolapse, there is lots of posts about them on here and how to fix it as well if you don't get answers soon enough.

If you can give her a human calcium tablet with vitamin d or Tums 300-600 mg orally. Pop it into her beak to swallow or break it in half. It looks like she has a prolapsed vent, and the others might have pecked it a little. Separate her, clean her vent off with warm water inside the house, and apply an ointment to keep it from drying out. Vaseline, coconut, mineral oil, hydrocortisone, hemorrhoid cream or others. Sometimes they can strain to pass an egg, so good to know if she lays one or can poop. It may take days to a week for the prolapse to go back in.

Ok so I did some research and I pushed it back in, it’s staying for now, but I think it’s going to keep coming out. She is VERY weak.

Give her some calcium and offer some water with sugar 1 tsp per cup right away. Prolapses pop back out often. It looks swollen like it will.

Do I just put the cream on the vent here?

Put her in a warm soak. Let her sit in warm sudsy water. Put a glove on and lube up your fingers, gently tuck all protruding material back in. Then I agree with the sugar water. That will perk her up. Make a nice meal of worms. See how that go.

Also, did she lay an egg? If not, when you tuck the rectum back in, see if you can feel the egg. Is it in one piece? If you find it, lube her up good.
