Please help! 4-5 day to old chick with prolapsed vent! Urgent!

[BabyandCotton]

How do I treat this?!?! Please help!!

 

[BabyandCotton]

I'm sorry for being impatient but this is really a emergency!

I have her in a separate brooder with a heat pad and some wet food. What can I do for her?

 

[BabyandCotton]

I put some antibiotic ointment (no painkiller) on it , and it seemed to help

 

[BabyandCotton]

Anybody? Please?

I'm not sure what you should do. Pictures are always helpful. Someone here will know.

I'm now thinking this is a blockage. It's about 1/2 inch and isn't looking like a prolapsed vent. It has blood on it but not bleeding. It's coming out slowly but surely

Update: was a blockage. It has passed and she is feeling better.

I'm so glad she's okay!
