Prolapse

[melissa792]

Hi we noticed a hen with prolapse two days ago
I don’t feel or see a egg except I did feel something similar when I massage under her vent .. I used hemmorid cream and was able to get the prolapse back in we and kept her caged another day and all seemed well .. I actually was trying to change her bedding and she got out and took off with the others but prolapse seemed ok so I just let her go .. checked on her today and it is back out but this time looks horrible it’s very dark red both areas .. looks like insides are exposed as well as another area reminding me of like the vent?? I tried to push back in after giving her a quick soak and she just seemed like it hurt this time .. seriously can’t even get it to go in seems to be hard and more swallow if that makes sense .. I know we are playing against time .. what to do !?! If there is a egg stuck where is it?? How do I know ?? Tips suggestions much needed

I'm so sorry! I've had to deal a prolapsed hen and duck, which I know means I'm by no means an expert. My hen was old and we ended up having to put her down. The duck though, we pushed the prolapse back in and put her in a cool, dark area for a week or two to slow/stop egg production while she healed, which she did nicely. As far as your hen being swollen, it may be a stuck egg, or it may just be inflammation. Either way, soaking in a warm Epsom salt bath for an hour+ will help.

thanks she’s caged by herself but I still didn’t get it back in .. I’ve been searching all night and no luck figuring out .. its so sad will try again in am but I appreciate the feedback !!
