Prolapse

[christie22701]

One of my two year old hens has somewhat of a prolapse that is actively bleeding. The prolapse comes out a little but not all the way, like it's not hanging out. What do I do to prevent any other damage or worse, her dying?

see posts #3 and #6 Eggcessive said some good things...didn't read the whole thread so I don't know if the rest pertains to you.

She doesn't have the "red ball" it's just soft tissue at this point. It is bloody though. I'm going to bring her in and give her a bath and clean the area. Should I keep her inside? Should I keep her in the dark so she doesn't produce eggs? I'm planning on using Preparation H on the area.
