My girl started having pasty, whitish/yellow poo stuck to her feathers on Friday with an awful smell and would range for a bit and just stop and stand still. Brought her in and have been cleaning her up, soaking her in Epsom salt water and applying miconazole to vent area. Have also been applying some manuka honey around the vent area where she is red. Have been providing yogurt, eggs and Hydro-hen but, she doesn't want to eat or drink much.
I am wondering if this is gleet and if so, how soon til I see an improvement or is this something else?
Attaching pic of her bottom after a soak and cleaning her up the best I can.

Looks like urates to me. Is there a continual yeasty discharge from the vent? If there is, you can treat for Vent Gleet. Info is below.

When was her last egg? Has she been having any issues laying?
Is her crop emptying?
