Help! EE with bloody vent!

[ButtonquailGirl14]

Went out to get my eggs a couple hours ago, and I found bloody faces on my 2 evil hens... Low and behold my beautiful EE hen laying on her side bleeding from her vent with her eyes closed and panting heavilya ran inside and cleaned her bum and applied no pick, then fed her scrambled eggs, chick starter, some mealworms and some wild bird seed, and gave her Nutri-drench... She is inside now and has a hearty appetite. The thing is she hasn't laid an egg for a couple days, and she is pooping fine, but her bum is very messy again... I really hope she isn't egg bound, and my evil buff hen Annabell didn't just take advantage of that, and I wasn't sure if they could still poop when egg bound? She has her tail pointed more down... But I am trying to figure out if that's because of the pain.... Or internal laying help please! Even though I have helped many with issues like this one, I'm having trouble deciding, and would Love second opinions!

Can you post some pictures?
Have you felt for an egg?

Does her vent feel red and swollen/infected? What antibiotics (not topical) do you have?

If she is pooping she probably isn’t egg bound.

I am currently dealing with a post eggbound hen with frostbite on PenG so I may be able to help.

If not, I understand.

I can, but it may take a while... I have to upload photos by Bluetooth... How do you feel for an egg? Her vent is red... May be a little swollen... But idk if that was just because they were pecking it... I have vectrin... And Nutri-drench... And some other stuff... But no antibiotics

You should bring her in. You don’t want others pecking her injury. Is it prolapsed?
Is she bleeding from anywhere else? You should give her an exam. And post pictures of your findings.

Put a latex glove on, some petroleum jelly or similar, insert finger and feel for an egg. Do not go more than 2 inches in.

I'm not sure if Vetrycin can be used around the vent. I think so, since it's a very gentle cleanser.

Personally, I believe Penicillin is a better option. But it has to be injected and some people don't want to stick their chicken with a needle.

she is in... I haven't seen blood from anywhere but the top half of the vent... On the outside. How do I tell if it is prolapsed?

I don't have penecilin

I didn't either. My local farm and fleet carried it.
Agriculture stores should, big livestock owners use it.


Look up a pic of prolapsed vent and compare. Is she actively bleeding?
