Gah . . .
chx has been soaking in sink while I try to massage the works back in. Triple antibiotic ointment. Good to go. Drying her off to put her in small cage and she starts working the vent again. Out it all pops! Back to the sink, more massaging, finger in the vent and I can't feel an egg directly in the vent, but off to the side of poop opening. So found the exit hole, but egg(?) seems to be pushing to the right while exit is on the left. Lots of push, push, push and vent area is all extended again as big as an egg atleast just like before. In that extended or prolapsed area it feels like there is a ball that I can move around. I think an egg? BUT, I can't get the skin to move around from the side to the end so the egg can exit.
Bird is clearly worn out now, distressed maybe too? Eyes closed. Sorta labored breathing. Ready to cull and move on. Too much stress and time drain. In a darkened cage with food and water. Nice and warm. Tried to work the mass back in, but no dice. Triple abx cream. Will just let her rest for awhile and recover from the ordeal and reassess later. Hate to lose a chx and hope for a recovery, but I can't see how?
Some of the skin pushed out around the vent area also looks necrotic? Like it's starting to rot, ulcerated or something?
