Prolapse

[Greenwolf]

I have an 18 month old Brahma Leghorn cross with prolapse. She has a tear on the vent. When I tried to carefully push it back in, something inside wants to come back out through the tear. I have her separated in a pet carrier in another area away from the rest of the flock. How do I help her or do i have to put her down? Vet is NOT an option.

Could you please send pictures of what it looks like?

I'm not tech savvy enough to do that but this is really close to how it looked when my daughter first informed me and I checked her. when I tried pushing it back in however it popped back out bigger and angrier. There was no black though it literally just happened between 8:30-9am when I get them out for the day and the time that I posted the call for help. (I have dealt with prolapse before with success but it was several years ago and there was no split in the vent.)
I applied sugar water and my antiseptic balm immediately and after a short time it started improving a little. I rewashed her as best as I could with saline solution and again sugar water and re-applied the antiseptic balm. It has comfrey in it among other healing herbs and is deep penetrating. It is my go to for just about any open wound.
I have given her my herbal broad spectrum antibiotics and anti-inflammatory tinctures. She's in a pet carrier away from her flock and she is very pissed with me at the moment. I'm taking that as a good sign.
However I cannot get it back inside without opening the split, also I read not to push it back in at all if there's fecal matter on it and of course there is and of course I can't seem to wash it all off. I'm trying not to stress and just be calm and do my best for her but I am very worried about her.

Photos would be helpful.

You mention there's a split, is the intestine prolapsed along with the vagina or??
You push in, but something seems to want to come back out. Could it be an egg or lash material?

Keep the prolapsed tissue coated with your ointment/oil of choice, keep her from getting flies on the exposed tissue.

Give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for at least 7days. This is an important part of healing.

Thank you. It could be intestine, I don't know, it's pink and has fine bumps like taste buds. Are there two parts to the vent hole or only one? The prolapse is about an inch and a half diameter when she pushes as she breathes or when I am working on it. Should I continue to wash it/irrigate it a couple times a day?

The Intestine and Vagina both join at the vent. So you may see 2 holes protruding. A lot depends on what has prolapsed.

I would clean as needed and keep the exposed tissue coated with oil or ointment so it doesn't dry out and get the extra calcium into her.

I answered on your pm. Pictures of the prolapse would be helpful. Good info from Wyorp Rock.
