My chicken started acting weird about 5 days ago. She was by herself and seemed to be pushing. Upon inspection she has a prolapse. When I found it there was already a scab on the prolapsed portion. I washed it off immediately by soaking her in epsom salts and used vetricyn and aqua fore to get it back in.
In the last 5 days I repeat the process once a day and she seems to push it out about 4 times daily.
I have started to see some of the scab come away from the prolapse and fresh skin underneath.
I also started her on an anti inflammatory and an oral antibiotics from the vet. Since being inside. 5 days now. She hasn’t laid an egg and hasn’t eaten much. She drinks and will eat a handful of corn. But isn’t interested in much else.
Is there anything else I can do?
Is it too late? Has it already done to much damage? I was hoping to see improvement by a week so she could go back outside but that definitely isn’t going to happen. Attached is some pictures of it tonight after her 30 minute soak.
