Oh no! i am sorry! many healthy, happy recovery vibes being sent!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Me too A,

Prayers going up.

 

[Amiga]

Thanks. Going for two stitches - I have seen worse, but it's serious. My little Sechie.

 

[Going Quackers]

oh my gosh! poor baby!

but how fortunate you can get the help to repair it, here they can only put your poultry down, they offer zero medical care past that.

Oh A, hope she recovers quickly. I know your worried.

Update for the archives: Sechs has two stitches on either side of her vent, a double and a single.

She had a soft egg (no shell) in the pipeline, so we could call that egg bound, I reckon.

No reason to expect this. She had been laying till day before yesterday, seemed in good health and spirits. Sounds familiar, right?

She received, in addition to the egg removal and stitches, a shot of calcium supplement, some anti-inflammatory and pain relief. Surgery took less than half an hour.

I took Elfie with her for company. Elfie is an excellent companion.

She will be kept indoors a day or three, low light, and receive Neocalglucon orally three times a day (1.5 mL). I'll smash them into some peas.

And we will pray. There is a chance she will recover. But it is touch and go.

Wingin' it.

By the way, time in lukewarm bath, deep enough to float in did reduce the prolapse a bit, it cleaned her off, enabled her to be more comfortable and wiggle her legs. She definitely felt better after the bath. For transport, we used the Limousine (Wire dog crate covered with plastic poultry fence). The bottom was covered with a clean towel dampened with dilute chamomile tea.

Gonna keep trying ways to increase calcium intake.

Currently, putting Ca gluconate in their water at night, at 1 teaspoon per 4 ounces.

Never had egg trouble with Sechs before. She is three years, four months old. I will see if I can snap a photo today.

Glad to hear it's all over and hopefully she will be good as new. Thanks for update.

I too am glad it's over, hopefully recovery will go well. Poor little ducky, what an ordeal.

Just found this, I'm sorry Amiga. I know Sechs has the best caretaker --you! Prayer for you.
