Prolapsed Vent on cockerel or vent gleet?

[KendallMetz]

I have a cockerel with swollen vent that got I guess maggots all over it?( they were super tiny so ig very young) I took them off and washed him.Anyways I was thinking vent gleet but couldn’t find much on that with a boy other than one article (for hens). Then I saw it was super split (where all the worms hid) but I couldn’t find any examples. Most results came up with egg bound type stuff which it obviously isn’t. And it sucks since I can’t find detailed pics.

Cockerel is thin so I put electrolytes and probiotics in water and separated the other day (when I didn’t know about the vent). Brothers and sisters are healthy.

Thanks in advanced.

It looks like flystrike, very common in hot weather when there is a wound or a prolapse, or just poop oaround the vent. Soak in warm Epsom salts water, or warm soapy betadine water. Get out all maggots, and soak again the next day. Flush out the wound with bulb syringe or baster. If the maggots are deep inside, they may grow and do damage to the internal organs. Use permethrin spray around vent to kill maggot larvae. Slather on plain Neosporin or similar antibiotic ointment.

I would give him some cooked egg, wet chicken feed, and start some chicken vitamins or give NutriDrench. Here is a good article about treating flystrike:

Just looked at him and all the maggots are gone since I drowned them in Vetericyn and diluted hydrogen peroxide (only around the vent). I’m going to soak when I get home from work.

Do you think it’s a prolapse that I need to put back in? Or just swelling from the maggots
