My little Bantam Cornish hen ,Cornelia has some age to her, but she's been laying very well. I noticed her trying to lay an egg, so I waited around to collect it. When I saw the egg I also noticed it looked like she had prolapsed. On closer inspection part of the inner end intestines hooked to the vent had a good size hole in it. Waste was trying to come out that hole.... So I grabbed her up and took her into the house, placed down the puppy pad, towel, iodine, wound wash, hemroid cream, soluble sutures, ( that thanks to these situations I keep on hand now...). Wrapped her up, cleaned it out, stitched her up and applied wash and iodine and H cream. Then I gave her some Amoxicillian to fight infection.... She seemed in good spirits and when i put her back she happily ate and drank. I took out Cornelius, and put him in the cage beside her. I think he tried to breed her while she was laying and put the hole in her....... fingers crossed she stays good.
