My hen has a prolapsed vent !

[chicki291]

It is good to hear that the prolapse is staying it. Just keep pushing it back in if you see it come out. Hopefully it will stay inside permanently at some point.

She made a big poop like rigt now and it popped out again. It was a bit runny, but I did not see any worms in it. Im thinking that it is the coconut oil making her stomach runny?

Did you ever find any Calcium to give her?

I gave her some crushed shell

I put the prolapse back in after the big poop, and she's gone to bed now. I think putting the prolapse back in is very exhausting for her. She actually ran to hee cage to go to bed !

Crushed egg shell is good
I'm sure she is exhausted. Do you think you could make a prolapse sling to see if that will help keep it in?

 

[Aunt Angus]

That's what I would try. I don't think I have the same materials as some of those slings, but I could improvise. This has to be exhausting for both of you, and a sling or something like will give you peace puff mind while you're away.

@Wyorp Rock and @Cragg Klefor thanks! I missed that link and it was very informative! I had a busy day and was trying to catch up on the post...

About the baby aspirin, the dosage recommendation I was given on a post was 5 pills to a gallon (3.8L) of water for pain relief. Baby aspirin are 80mg so that doseage info would also mean 2 regular aspirin at 200mg (ASA, Acetylsalicylic acid) would work out to the same doseage of 400mg/gallon of water. I have no idea if this is correct information as no one disputed it or seconded it. Maybe someone with more knowledge can give you more information on it?

Actually you can put a whole egg (shell and all) in the food processor and feed it to the spchicken. The egg yolk itself has vitamin D which helps to utilize the calcium.

I've read the recommended dosage is 5mg/2.2 lbs. I think it was on a post by @casportpony , unless I'm mistaken. Crush It up and mix It with food or water.
