Prolapsed Vent HELP

[Ella_michele08]

Keep up the good work. She should come around, just keep at it.

Thankyou!
Do you think the dryer poop stuck to the prolapse will come off?
today is day four and her prolapse isn't staying in on its own yet

I'd worry about the soaks to reduce the swelling before trying. The other thing is to try and prevent her from drying out and getting crusty. The soaks in warm Epsom salt helped with that, as well as slathering her vent with RAW honey. It was literally the only thing that helped. After the swelling goes down, then try

I haven't soaked her since Monday morning. Im praying her and putting the ointment on.
So should I not try to keep pushing it back in?

I would push it back in occasionally to see if it will stay inside, but don’t keep doing it so often. Just keep the prolapse moist with honey or ointment, so the skin does not dry out. The crusty part of the prolapse is fairly normal, and it may fall off eventually. Continue soaking her vent at least once daily. Sometimes prolapses will take a week or so to stay inside.

Ok, maybe once a day.
Ok. I soaked it Sunday and just washed warm water over it for like two minutes Tuesday and I haven't done any soaking since, but I put a tiny bit of warm water on it to wipe it today. BUT the crusty on it hasn't come off, mostly feels irritated.
And it hasn't stayed in yet, maybe I'll run warm water on it tomorrow or something

I would soak daily. Keep the ointment on all day to keep it from drying. Let us know how she gets along.

I'll try.
I'll soak it tomorrow and Sunday and I won't be able to do that Monday but will try Tuesday and Wednesday and hopefully it gets better. It's very tiring

Thanks for the help

I am ashamed to say I have not been soaking my rir hen with the prolapse for about a week which was the last time I soaked it.
She is not getting worse but not too much better.
a tiny bit of poop came off but this one peice is pulling on her vent. I can say that the top of her vent isn't quite as red.

she is in with five other chickens that don't peck her. And my parents did let them out twice where I put her back in the small coop(not big coop) bc she was getting her prolapse dirty with dirt. Not quite sure what to do bc I can't soak her every day, but I will try tomorrow. I just want her prolapse to go in on its own, but I think she layed an egg tday. And I have been feeding her some of the flock maker like normal with water and apple cedar vinegar. And putting the vetericyn spray on it and a tad bit of this ointment stuff. But I stopped trying to push it in the past few days and she didn't like it when I tryed tday.

And by looking at picks of prolapse vents it is only a small prolapse and I'm glad not a emergency like some pictures. No vets that we can or r taking her to, but it's not severe, just not going in rlly.

Can I only do what I'm doing?

So far Abbys prolapse hasn't stayed in and it's been almost three weeks! I wasn't pushing it back in every day but I am pushing it back in every day now or every other day. There's not much poop on it now just a tad of white poop but not much, but it hasn't healed/stayed in, and she acts normal and wants to come outside very bad plus the hens don't peck at it. But I'm worried bc I'll be gone for like 4 and a half days and won't be able take care of her
What should I do, it's difficult

Can you post pictures of the vent and prolapse?

Can you post pictures of the vent and prolapse?

Yes, here are some pictures.

I keep getting frustrated bc right after I push it back in she poops white liquid and it comes right back out! It's been like two weeks and four days
The crusty on top pf her vent I'm pretty sure the cream that I've been putting on her to help
