Please Help - 3y Brahma Hen w/Prolapsed Vent – First-Timer Seeking Advice

[BrahmaMama207]

Once a normal egg has passed, usually we don't need to continue the calcium, but if the prolapse continues, then continue the calcium until it resolves.

As pointed out above by @A Swede in France it could be weak muscles not allowing the prolapse to retract and stay put, but also it can indicate there is still material in the oviduct that still needs to come out. The calcium can help with that.

We just don't want to overdo this concentrated form of calcium. It's best to try to limit it to two weeks max as it can be a strain on the kidneys.

ok - gotcha. it's been 2 or 3 days of calcium and the prolapse continues. based on your suggestion, i think i'll continue the calcium tomorrow and look forward to connecting with the vet as well tomorrow

thank you so much for sharing your experience so i can help poor Ana thru this. i know i'd hate to have one of my internal organs hanging out for days on end -- i'm so grateful to be surrounded by fellow flock keepers
