Hello could use some help, I have a 4 year old RIW that has had a leaking bottom for two weeks now. I have washed her and returned her to the pen not actually knowing what it was. As of this week, it has turned into a prolapsed vent in addition to what I was terming as a leaking bottom. I have her separated, cleaned and feeding her water with electrolytes. However, she had this membrane attached to her prolapsed vent and I tried to very carefully remove it believing it was crusted poop, but it has a membrane like texture and I wasn't sure if I should rip it off, so I left it. Coated the vent with antibiotic cream and pushed it back in. She is under a heat lamp and drinking lots of water. Not eating so much, but she is still dripping from her bottom. I now know she has Vent Gleet and a prolapsed Vent. What do I treat first and could the membrane cause greater infection? Worried in MI.
