polish hen - prolapsed vent

[greginshasta]

On of our Auracana's had a prolapsed vent a while back, and after cleaning/prep-h/shoving it back in 3 times it stuck and she was good.

We have a polish whose vent is prolapsed as well, but we can't seem to resolve it. We've cleaned her up 5-6 times now, and kept her isolated for a week in a dark box, as I believe this we recommended. This morning, we clean her up and the moment she poos it's popped out again.

Suggestions?

How is she doing? Know it has been a couple days, so hoping she is better. If not.........


You might have to clean her up, push it in and hold it for awhile - 10 to 20 minutes. It probably feels like a large poo to her so she pushes it back out.

No change. I clean her up, push it back in, she farts and it pops out again.

My Kabo/orpington bantam mutt had a prolapse a few weeks ago. It took a week to go back in. We gave her a few warms baths to relax her muscles, put antibiotic cream and KY on it every day, and kept her in a small dog crate in low light (so she would not create any eggs). I pushed it gently back in once or twice a day. After it went back in, I kept her in the crate for 2 more days just to be sure. She is back with the flock but she has not started laying again yet.

So, hang in there and give her time.

Good luck.
