If I remember correctly, it's best not to let a prolapse dry out.
I would agree but it wouldn't stay in - I tried several times.

That's the issue with most prolapses, is that they don't always stay in, & need to be continously pushed back inside.I would agree but it wouldn't stay in - I tried several times.

Have any preperation H, or honey to reduce swelling? Swelling is what usually prevents a prolapse from staying in. Honey is also a natural antibiotic.
Well this is interesting!My Harriet is still alive! I couldn't put her down - she seemed comfortable. She is pooping normal and I have seen wet spots. I have been giving her one antibiotic a day, stopped soaking her (she doesn't like it), feeding her layer food and mealworms. The tissue just 'hung out' and then dried up. I have her on puppy training pad in our laundry room (Nebraska) and could see blood spots for about 4 days. No blood in the last 3 days - Last night the tissue could be broke off then cut off right up to the vent. Then I soaked her / cleaned her up so she will look 'normal' in the coop.
I'm just hoping that was her egg tubing and she won't want to lay eggs - kind of like a hysterectomy? I would love if she can just live out her days.
Today, I will see if she walks ok. I stopped the antibiotic as that is hard to give, unless someone has better ideas?
Maybe out to the coop if she does walk ok - or wait a few more days? It's so cold here.....
I believe you are right and it is so hard but it does help to have someone agree with what I have been believing also. Thank you.....
I've seen folks make a sling for them using vet wrap, going above and below the vent. I don't know that it would work for your girl, but it might help. Or something like that...???
I really thought this update would not be that she's still alive. I hope she's doing well!!!
