I know a little
about vent prolapse, but this seems to be something else??
My gold lace wyandott was behaving sick a couple of days ago, so I brought her inside. Her stool started out fine, but then became diarrhea over the next 24 hours, and stank terribly. Today, I washed her well - it was a disgusting mess under her. I discovered bumblefoot, which is troublesome enough, but I also discovered this protrusion - pictured. Her vent itself looks fine, and healthy. But below her vent, and a little to one side, is a mass that looks like intestines. As it dried, after her bath, the membrane around it turned much darker - when it was washed and wet, it was a pale gray-beige.
Any ideas what I am dealing with her, so I can figure out what to do for her?
Many thanks.
(Note - she is upside down in my arms in the pics.)
