Greetings, my two year old barred Plymouth had a vent prolapse about a month ago. I gave her a daily epsom salt bath and gave her mineral oil up the vent and down the mouth for 10 days. I was able to push the internal part of the prolapse back in. There is still an external hemorrhoid looking part that I have not been successful in pushing back in. About a week into treatment, she developed vent gleet. I treated it with antifungal cream and it went away. I thought everything was in the clear. I put her in a pen next to the run to start reintroducing her to the flock. I kept her there for about a week. She started molting during this time. I noticed that she started getting crust around her bum again and so I brought her back in. She is very skinny but she is still eating and drinking food in the crate. What I am very concerned about is she is straining to poop. Her poop is a fairly regular consistency but bright green/light brown. She has not been free ranging much since the prolapse. It’s not extra greens. She is very uncomfortable when I try to look around her vent. I went ahead and put some antifungal cream on the crusty part. It felt like the vent was really small, hard, and not capable of opening up. I have posted a picture of her poop below. Any thoughts/suggestions/insights would be much appreciated. She’s a great chicken and plays a big role in my flock. It seems like I’m losing her slowly and I’m not sure what else to try.
