Help! EE with bloody vent!

[staceyj]

Has she recently molted?
Is her comb red and vibrant or kind of “winter-pale”?
If the answer to these is yes, then she may not currently be laying.

You can check to see (feel really) if there is an egg inside by putting on a glove and then putting a lubricant on 1 finger (like cooking oil) and gently inserting it into her vent an inch or two.
If you bump into an egg, soak her in a sink of warm water with Epsom salts in it for 20 minutes or so and give her a tums to eat, broken into some bits (or a human calcium supplement such as caltrate)
Then give her a good and complete blow dry and observe her inside for the night.

Whether or not she’s eggbound the bath will be soothing to the misery the evil step-sisters did to her.

Like the previous posters said, if she’s pooping she not likely to be eggbound.

Wait don’t spray anything. If it’s prolapsed...you’ll need to get it clean in tepid water. Then if there’s no tear you could use Preperation H (for hemorrhoids) to reduce the swelling then you’ll need to push the prolapse in and hold. We need to see first what it is your dealing with.

A prolapse look like her insides have been pushed out...usually from passing a egg

Yes, vetericyn CAN be used in the vent area.

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?

Unfortunately I can't get there tonight, but I can tomorrow.

Thanks!

I never said Vetericyn spray couldn’t be used. I said wait don’t spray. What are you spraying? A wound a prolapse? Something? That just might need to be cleaned or treated with something else? Photo’s would help us help you.

Tepid water is a temperature of water. It means not hot or cold. Prolapse tissue is sensitive....so basically the water has a room temperature to it. Preparation H is sold everywhere from Walmart to the dollar store. Ask your parents they may already have some in their medicine cabinet.

It does not look like prolapsed vent.

I already checked. We don't.
