I have a 3-year-old chicken I have been treating for what I think might be prolapse and vent gleet. I've been washing with Dr bronner's antibacterial soap, soaking in Epsom salt baths, spraying with antimicrobial spray, and once even tried to sugar scrub for shrinking. I have her separated from the flock in a kennel in the hen house with her own slightly infused vinegar water and food with grit. She has been this way for 6 days and has yet to lay an egg but seems to be eating, drinking and pooping just fine. Can these things heal themselves if I continue these home treatments? Is there anything else I could be doing? I've made phone calls to try to find a vet in my West Michigan area and it's been really hard. I've gotten second opinions from other chicken owners and it seems I'm doing everything I can. I thought I would consult this forum that may have even more experience.
Here's a couple photos. What is that build up at the end? Fatty deposit? She acts like she's trying to push it out but I feel like it's probably supposed to go in? Is there anything else I can do and how long can we do this?
