My 3-4 month old cochin pullet has a prolapse.
I have separated her from my other cochin - rooster about the same age. She is in a small dog crate with pine shavings.
I fed her yogurt mixed with her crumbles this morning and I have put Corid in her drinking water tonight.
She has been on medicated starter/grower crumbles. I've noticed some diarrhea but now it seems her stool is small and dark. She is definitely straining very hard and even making tiny noices. Each time I have lubed her and slid her back into place, shortly later she has strained it out again. I've used Prep-H and honey.
If she has cocci, how soon should I see improvement or decline.
She is acting OK.
I don't think there is a vet in my area that treats chickens so I am probably on my own with this.
What are my next steps?
Thanks for helping a newbie.
