I need help now!

[Wyorp Rock]

Thank you so much, you have been very helpful!

my family and I are scheduled to go camping in two days do you think it will be okay for a few days? I guess all just wait and see, but do you have any tips for super quick recover? Any would be helpful!

I don't know of a super quick recovery for this. You have to let the swelling go down.
Were you able to tell if there was an egg stuck in there too?
Is she able to poop?

Since there were maggots, they may have damaged the tissue as well - hard to know, but sometimes a hen may need treatment for a while. If put back out too soon - they may have another prolapse which if not treated can dry up and become necrotic (that exposed tissue is part of the oviduct and/or intestines), another chicken could peck at it and cause damage or you may end up with another bought of maggots which also damage tissue, cause infection and worst case - then hen could die.

See how it goes. If you are able to get it to stay in, she may be able to go back out in a couple of days if there are not wounds from the maggots, but I would have someone check on her every day if possible.

she is able to poop but it seems to be hard for her.
im not sure if she can lay but I think she has been it is hard to tell because we didn’t separate her till last night. earlier you sad something about tums do I mix them with food then give it to her?

You can give the half a Tums orally or in a small amount of food that she will eat. I think that she may not be able to be left alone if you go out of town in 2 days. Flystrike and a prolapse will probably take longer than that to successfully treat.

I usually just break up the Tums and either pop the pieces into their beak, but you could mix it with her food I suppose.

Can you get a parent, sibling, friend or neighbor to help you with her?

Photos would be good too.

sorry this is not a good picture. do you know of anything anti inflammatory (natural or not) to put on her?

We have some friends coming to look after our chickens and other animal, but I’m not sure they will be willing to bathe her or put her prolapse back in if it comes out.

Poor thing!
Is the prolapse staying in? I would watch to make sure the other hens are not picking at her and look closely that no more maggots on the tissue.

You can use an anti-inflammatory like Hydrocortisone. This can be found at CVS, WalMart, Dollar General, etc. Generic brand is fine to use as well.

Thanks, I’ll try this I think I have some already! The prolapse is not staying in very well. We have Been trying every few hours but I think she is constipated so she ends up pushing it out again. luckily no more maggots! The fly strike is mostly healed already! I think we caught it just a little while after the maggots hatched so they hadn't had time to bite deep into her.
I was also wondering if you know anything about sour crop? I’m not sure if she has it but I can feel food in her crop and it’s been there since yesterday. I think it is just emptying slowly because she is backed up. Do you know anything I can do to help this?

Can you get a good photo of the vent and prolapsed tissue next time you attempt to push it in?
Is the tissue dried out, hard or necrotic?

A hen that is not well like this one, often will not drink or eat very good. Caging her and offering her sips of water to get and keep her hydrated may help if she's having a hard time pooping. She may be constipated, but the oviduct and intestines may also be swollen and inflamed making it hard to go. Get her drinking, then offer her wet feed.

It's not uncommon for there to be a crop issue when a hen is not well. With a prolapse - there's inflammation/swelling, so this slows the bodily functions. Focus on hydration today and give her a little wet feed - no treats. Re-Check the crop first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks - see if it's empty. If it's not empty in the morning, then treat for slow or sour crop may help.

Good news!
part of Pepper’s prolapse went in on its own! The oviduct went in!
