Have a Prolapsed Vent with possibly vent gleek or something? HELP!

[Wyorp Rock]

I'll post some pictures of her vent tomorrow when I wake up it looks better just staying moist it just looked bruised/dark purple but I did feel quite a few tinier scabs and such as well when bathing her so could jsut be that. How long can the prolapse stay out online it said it's super dangerous and should be treated ASAP but some people are staying it can take up to a week to heal?

Your list is o.k.

You need the Calcium Citrate+D3, some type of oil or anti-inflammatory cream.

Spray bottle is good, you can use a bit of warm water to spray the vent to keep her cleaner since she's stressed with soaking.

You have a lot on the list - those are fine, but you really just need to get that Calcium into her, keep the tissue coated with oil or ointment.

Keep her hydrated/drinking. Plain water or a bit of electrolytes is fine. Normal feed to eat.

Oyster shell, regular feed, grit - these are basics that you should already have on hand and should be providing to your flock daily anyway.

I know my list is a little all over i have most of it wrote down incase I can't find something else. I just noted down everything incase, I'll make sure to get the big ones on the list like calcium, I want to do well by this hen and all my others but I'm still learning my area is very rural and very old school and tbh most people around here don't have big issues with their animals I'm the unlucky one that had this happen.


I had Oyster shells but ran out a couple of days before this happened and out in the run they have sand/rocks I was told that was fine I've owned chicken for a while but my dad(lived on a big family farm growing up) who I guess is more old schooled helped me alot with stuff.

We typically give layer pellets and cracked corn mixture since they enjoy it and it helps in the winter with them laying eggs. As I said above I am trying to learn and do better by my flock I really am but I'm only 20 and most of my childhood was my dad helping me and teaching me what he knows. Plus for the longest time I didn't have the money to make a first aid kit for my flock or get every little thing I did best with what I had and now that I have money and I am working I'm trying to do better and learn. Sorry for the rant I just wanna try to explain why I don't have some of this stuff and that I do love my flock I really do and I honestly didn't know what to do for this hen. My father wanted to cull her because she's just a bird,; but I want to help and save her so I came here

But anyways I really do appreciate everything you've told me I'm not trying to sound rude or ungrateful I just wanna do better

Oh dear!

I'm not fussing at you. I'm sorry that it came across that way.

You have a nice list, but you do not need a lot of things to treat this.

Sometimes we can get overwhelmed by all the information we receive, and it gets confusing as to what we need or think we have to have.

I'm fairly cheap when it comes to supplies for myself and my animals. Most first aid products I use have a dual purpose, they can be used for me/my Hubs and for my animals.

When using items for me or the animals, I put a small amount on a paper plate, piece of waxed paper or in a small container and use that to treat wounds, whatever, this way the original container does not become contaminated and can be used for all of us many times over.

Basic first aid is what you need. You don't need expensive honey or sprays. If you're like me, money is pretty tight, and I need to be conscientious of my budget but still be able to provide care as best I can.

Most of the time you can find these items at stores like Walmart, Dollar General, even the Dollar Tree depending on where you live and what they have in stock. Generic brands are fine.

With a Prolapse and exposed tissue, the most important thing is to keep the tissue covered with an oil or ointment do it does not dry out and turn necrotic. The second most important is to give the hen Calcium.

You're doing a good job caring for her. Don't beat yourself up.
You can buy the generic brand of these items; some of them should be at Dollar General or Dollar Tree to save money - the triple antibiotic, vasoline, Calcium Citrate maybe.

The best thing you can do is follow the advice of Wyorp-Rock and Eggcessive, Azygous and Coach723 on this site. All have been extremely helpful to me when I've needed advice. There are many others more knowledgeable and extremely helpful that I'm sure I'm not mentioning so my apologies to all of them. I've mentioned the names that get tagged most often for emergencies.

Good luck with treating her and keep us posted.

Sorry, Wyorp Rock - seems we were posting at the same time. I'm stepping out of this thread now but will watch for future progress.

Hey idk what to do i just got back and my hen is trying to lay an egg I'm not sure for how long but it seem to be coming out but maybe stuck is there anything I should do for her? Is this dangerous if it stays like this for too long?

She needs to expel the egg. You can apply just a small amount of oil or ointment to the opening where the egg is and see if you can help her very lightly and gently push it out.

Do not pull on the exposed tissue or you could pull more out.

You can try to roll or push the tissue up around the egg a little and see if it will come on out.

I have her in an Epsom salt baths and syringe feeding her waters down calcium pill it's really tot and hard to move.

The vent tore a bit on the crust part. Slathered it in ointment and Vaseline
