help diagnose 2 prolapses

[nhchick]

I've been dealing with my first prolapse for week now keeping her inside in a dark area and using honey and triple antibiotic cream. It would be successful for a couple of days and pop out again. It only comes out maybe 1/2 inch and have an area with white rubbery coating which I assumed was infection.
Another chicken was laying smaller eggs but streaked with blood also but no other symptoms til just now I find her with and exact looking bum bum as the first one. There is stinky gunky white poo on her bum. I see no blood, they are acting normal, eating and drinking okay. No changes in anything except they are now spending their days outside in the run ( wheather nice) and a couple of weeks ago I was feeding them a hand ful of ground corn in the a.m. as a treat but haven't done that in over a week. Please help me think this through. I'm afraind now its not an isolated incident.
Thank you

I think some of the other members use sugar for a prolapsed vent. I haven't had that problem, so I don't know first hand. Have you tried giving them a warm bath.

If there is infection, I would recommend Tylan50.

Can I get Tylan at tractor supply store? and now I'm wondering if the prolapse is the initial problem or a symptom of something else. How likely to have 2 at the same time that look exactly alike. Thanks for the reply.
Im working on pictures now.

That didn't work. Would Sulmet be good for anything regarding this problem?

If[/URL] you use the enclosed link it will show you an image of the problem we have been discussing. We can not figure out how to get the image in the mesage if any one can help that would be appreciated.
Again, I have 2 layers with the same problem.

your link didnt work.

Does it look like this on page 1 or page 3? If so page one is a prolapes rectum you treat that different. Page 3 is vent gleet.
