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

[Copper9Miko1]

Area still bleeding a bit, and looks swollen, she hasn't eaten or drank anything and my mom said she check on her about an hour before I got home ish and she seemed fine then. Not sure how long she dealt with the egg or if I handled it right since she tore a bit on the scabbing area I feel so guilty. Im assuming she's tired and sore and probably just wants to rest I'm gonna check on her again in a little bit and try to get her to eat or drink.

Update 10:27 pm

Hen is doing good when to check on her she hadn't touched her food or water still but she did pass some poop! So I'll take that as a slight win. The prolapse is looking ok still swollen, a little bloody/scaring and some of that white poop stuff but good. When I checked on her she was sleep figured best to let her rest and try to heal some after this last thing with the egg and slightly tearing. I'll check on her before bed and put on some Vaseline and maybe some ointment.

Any tips on how to get her to take the Calcium pills so I know she gets it all, my firend in animal care was over and manage to get her to take half a pill that we mixed with water and feed syringe wise. But when me and my bf tried later on she wasn't having it so I mixed it with her food. Food currently is layer pellets will make her some scrambled eggs in the morning for a bit of a treat/breakfast.

Put some triple antibiotic ointment (without pain relief) on her and keep the tear clean and moist. It's good you helped her expel the egg. She has to be feeling some relief from that.

To get the Calcium in her, have your friend hold her or if you are by yourself, hold her with one arm like a football supporting her body in the crook of your elbow against your body. With the hand on that same arm, you should be able to reach and gently pull down on her wattles until her mouth opens and then with your other hand pop the pill in her mouth and immediately let go of the wattles. She should swallow it. It's easier to have a helper hold the chicken while you open her mouth with one hand and put the pill in with the other hand. If pulling down on the wattles doesn't work, you can gently but firmly open her beak with your thumb on one side of her mouth and using your fingers on the other side, open her beak and pop the pill in. Don't worry about getting in too far back in her throat. She will swallow it properly, just put it in her mouth. I hope this makes sense. It's late and I'm tired. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

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

You did a good job getting the egg out. The tissue is thin and can tear so don't feel bad. I would have expected it to tear and bleed some, so you did a very good job!

She's exhausted, so I wouldn't soak her again since it already stresses her.

If she gets soiled just rinse the prolapse off or spray it off with clean water or soapy water, then rinse. Keep your water on the cool/room temperature level instead of it being hot when you rinse her.

She needs the Calcium so get that into her. Pull down on her wattles to open the beak, put the tablet right into the beak, let the wattles go and let her swallow. If you want to, cut the pill in 1/2 and give her a piece at a time.

Then work on hydration. Sugar water is good to give. 1tsp sugar, a pinch of salt, a pinch of baking soda to 1 cup water.

Pooping is good!!!!

Now, she may actually have another egg on the way or a soft shelled egg. So don't freak out. Just be aware of it.

Keep the tissue covered with your ointment or oil, whatever you have.

Let her rest, but push fluids if you can and get the calcium into her.

In the morning, offer her a little wet mushy feed.

Update and questions 11:52 pm

Just cleaned her up for the night I gave her water with that proltry cell stuff and I left her with some food i also have some hydro hen too for hydration that I can do, she is drinking but not eating yet.

I wanted to ask if I can give a chicken to much calcium? Like can she overdose if I did cause I can just give her a pill in the morning since she has some in her food and took roughly 3/4 of one watered down.


I'll also show pictures of what I have on for products and some photos of what she's looking like seems like she has some bruises from the egg straining earlier but she seems to be doing good she tried running from me when I was applying stuff so I'm guessing she's feeling better somewhat!

Also no more baths got it i just put her in one cause I figured it was a clean environment some what and it was sorta like egg bound which I've dealt with before but even though she hates the bathes she LOVES the blow dryer haha (since it's still cool where I live in had to dry her off pretty good before putting her out in her semi enclosed area.

Also she's trying to peck at the prolapses just a tiny bit, like 4 or 5 times, I'm currently watching her as best I can to prevent that I'm not sure if it's normal or if she's trying to clean herself? Im just worried about something getting worse or something hurting her when she eats it

You're first aid supplies look good.

If you were able to get at least 300mg (1 pill) into her today, then just give her another in the morning. Give her at least 1 pill daily for 7 days. She can have up to 600mg (2pills) a day for the 7 days.
Giving the Extra Calcium is short term to get her through this crisis.

Is she drinking the water with Poultry Cell in it? None of my birds will willingly drink Poultry Cell water. If she's not drinking water with vitamins or electrolytes, provide plain water.

So true. I discovered ours won't drink water with this in it either. It must taste bad. I have sprinkled some on scrambled eggs when using it but that's not an even distribution; some eat it and some don't. I wonder if there is a way to modify the taste any without affecting the nutritional makeup.

Ok got it had to fight her a bit but I got a pill into her this morning and then finished up her treatment with coating it and stuff after cleaning it as best I could. I'll give her one later to if I can get her to take it.

And yeah surprisingly with her never having it she's drinking it on her own and seems to not mind it it's the food I was having a hard time getting her intrested in so I threw a few mealworms in it for her and now she's digging and eat the food for them, and yes she is actually eating the pellets too. So I'll take both of those as wins even if she spilled it lol

She seems less sore this more and a bit better spirits posted pictures bellow of her this morning and the wound.

Had a syringe like a small plastic one and did on mL of it mixed with a sandwich meat container of water (like the ham honey farm ones) and she been drinking it not sure it that was to much or to little or if she just likes it but it seems to work.

I also give my flock apple cider vinegar and pepper in the water throughout the winter cant remember why my dad said too now but maybe it taste similar so she's used to it?

The prolapse is looking a bit better. Keep us the good work taking care of her.
Hopefully the swelling will go down a little more in the next day or so, then you can start trying to push it back in (after it's cleaned well).

If she's drinking the water with vitamins, that's great! Mine don't like it, but birds have different tastes too.

@Bawkbok I don't know if you could mix with a bit of fruit juice to alter the taste or not. I've always just given Poultry Cell as an oral dose during crisis. Direct oral dose is 1cc per 3 pounds of weight.

Ok good
