Necrosis?

[Henhaven2090]

Intersting about the red tissue. Here is another thread about something called a cloacolith that you may want to read about to compare with hour hen:

Thank you!! That seems similar to what I’m dealing with just much worse! I’m not noticing nearly the swelling or any sort of buildup within her. And she is also passing really solid poop now in almost normal amounts. Thank you so much for helping me through this. I haven’t seen anything like this before.

You are doing a great job, and I hope that she soon gets better.,

This is what it looks like today. Had a long soak and debrided as best I could. The ointment seems to be helping.

How does she seem to be doing now?

I would use some plain neosporin or plain triple antibiotic ointment on it. It does need to be soaked and cleaned up, try to debride it with clean washcloth or some gauze. I can't really tell if she may have had a prolapse or not, or just may have been pecked around the vent.

I have the same problem with my rooster, what I would love to know is how do I remove the necrotic tissue? I have soaked his vent ( about ten minutes) and still when I try to remove the dead stuff it's really stuck on there! If I am too forceful it bleeds and I don't want to hurt him.
Any ideas?
