I have a hen who has prolapse, and I'm not sure what to do at this point- the poor thing's a little trooper, and I don't know how she hasn't passed yet.
She's got white discharge stuff around her protruding vent, which I assume is her poop, so at least she's sort of pooping. For the past 3 days, she's been quarantined in a nice dark pen with pine shavings, food and water. As far as I know, she's barely eaten or drank.
She's been given epsom salt baths for 15-20 minutes daily; she's been dried off afterwards. I've tried to push her hanging vent back in, and put veggie oil around her vent so that it will push in easier. However, it keeps falling out. The tissue is black, so it's dying. I don't know what to do anymore.
Please, I need help. I've researched forums and stuff but I don't know what to do at this point.
