Prolapse- is the tissue necrotic

[Sketchy]

Found my hen yesterday after work with prolapse. It was double in size yesterday.

Separated, cleaned and put homey on it. It has gone down considerably.
Photos is from today. It was clean prior to photo. I cannot get get it to go back in. It feels like it is trying to adjust into place. But will pop back out. I tried holding it closed for several mins and it pops back out

I’m wondering now if the tissue is too damaged or dead?

Do you think she has a chance of serving or should we put her down?

I've not had luck saving mine with prolapsed vents but others here have had success. Tagging experts to assist.

I wrote this "how to" for folks like you facing this ghastly situation. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ng-from-vent-prolapse-oh-my-what-to-do.76124/ There is hope.

I would just keep the prolapse from drying out with vaseline, honey, or other thick oil, and hopefully in time, the dark part will slough off. It can take a week sometimes for the prolapse to go in and stay. A daily warm soak to just her bottom will help keep her clean and heal.

When a prolapse is continuing to come back out, I have on occasion had success with making a wrap or sling to help hold it in, until it will stay. This thread has pictures of one. It can take some trying to get it on correctly so that it will stay, but it can work.

Some birds may prolapse only once and never again, could be an extra large or rough egg, or unknown reasons. But some birds will do it repeatedly, and for those it can eventually be the end of them. I had one bird prolapse 5 or 6 times over a 6 month period and eventually it was too much for her. I have had others only do it once and never again.
