Prolapse - does stitching helps ?

[Tahera]

My lokkha hen pigeon ( this breed is more like chicken than pigeons ) has a prolapse. A vet suggested putting the prolapse inside and stitching. Anyone has their chicken/bird going through this procedure ? Does it work ?

How would stitching up the one hole that serves as two work?

I have NEVER heard of this... Would not be my choice. Stitch WHAT exactly?

Did you ask the vet if he had a boat payment due? LOL

Actually he will put two stitches to narrow the vent opening .

He said he will put two stitches at the side of the vent to narrow the opening ?

I'm not sure how that would work.

That sounds dangerous and painful! I would not go for it. Have you been to this vet before?

Haven't seen this in a bird but when I had reptiles with prolapse I would boil water and add as much sugar as I could get to dissolve, Cool the water down to room temp and soak the prolapsed area in the sugar water. this would reduce the swelling and usually the prolapse would fix itself, very occasionally I would have to re insert some tissue after the swelling subsided. Seems like it would be worth trying with a bird as well.
