my 9 1/2 month old hen has diarrhea which seems to be getting better but her vent appears to be infected still. Deformed, antibiotics? Can anyone advise me what to do?
 
Pictures would help in identifying what is going on. In summer heat with flies, flystrike (maggot infestation) can be common around the vent, and they can burrow into the skin. The vent can be an area where multiple problems such as prolapsed vent, vent gleet, or flystrike can occur, so pictures are helpful.

Not deformed. Meant to say deworm.
I'll try to take a picture tomorrow.
