HELP!!!

[redranger209]

Hands down the worst prolapse I’ve seen. I’m sorry for your loss.

I have to agree with the others that she is far beyond any help, and she been put down right away. It is hard to do that sometimes if one is acting normally and looking at you in no distress, but at some point, she will start suffering in pain and shock. Wyorp Rock said that she may have suffered a prolapse, and the others may have pulled the intestines out. They also can expell it all on their own by straining. So very sorry that you had to experience this.

The same thing just happened to my Abigail. I went in the coop to shut down for the night and she was sitting in the corner quiet and in bed early I collected eggs and then saw something dangling out of her. It was her guts. I thought it may have been a prolapse vent because I was able to fix that on Madeline. But her vent was fine.
This happened at about 830 at night when I found her. I picked her up I washed her off I tried to shut the intestines back in and it was too painful for her so I stopped. I put her in a box and brought her home. I took a turmeric pills, call Mag zinc crushed it up and mixed it with water. I gave her 4 small dropper falls of that Plus half of a baby aspirin in hopes of reducing the pain. I put her in a warm bath, rinse her up, sprayed with anabiotic spray and lidocaine spray. Try to get them to put the guts inside but it wasn’t working too painful. So I put her on towels in a box and put a maxi pad underneath her guts. I put another towel over her back with her head sticking out and she looked tired and in pain and went to sleep. My husband woke me up this morning told me that there’s a chicken walking around the kitchen with her guts hanging out. I had put her in the hallway bathroom where it was dark and quiet.

She passed a giant dark tarry diarrhea stool. I clean that up. She was dripping blood walking around the kitchen, I cleaned that up. I picked her up and I put her back in the bathroom where she noticed that she had laid an egg on the maxi pad that had no shell. Apparently that was breakfast. she saw the food that I left her in the water. She’s alert and walking around. I’m going to put her down tonight. I have too many things I have to get to today. I put her in the backyard where there’s plenty of things to pack at including Cricket I put food and water out there. I watched her for a little bit and she started taking her own guts hanging between her legs.

After reading similar posts here I realize the humane thing to do is to put her down ASAP and I will.

I don’t know how this happened. But from butchering chickens in the past, there is a fair amount of air inside of a hen. I’m wondering if maybe a bacterial infection may produce gases that inflate the chicken? I’m at picking at her self or someone picking at her or getting in a tussle caused some movements that caused pressure to Pop or pierce the thinnest weakest muscle? The hole in her abdomen is about the size of a quarter. Anyway it’s hard to watch. I will be putting her down tonight or this afternoon if I can get to it.

Here is Abigail after having taken a little baby aspirin, turmeric, calcium magnesium and zinc to kind of reduce the inflammation. She’s in the backyard - I need to put her down.

The vent is fine and way further up.

is taking her to avian vet an option? even if they say she needs to be put to sleep they can do that for you , if it’s difficult for you to do yourself

I put her down.
I made a cone from some vinyl I had. Strung a rope thru it, hung it, got the lopping shears and put her in it, did the deed. Went quickly. Broke my heart .
But she’s not suffering anymore.
She would’ve required lots of antibiotics and it’s uncertain whether she’d survive. Better a quick death than a long painful one.
