I have a 11/2 year old brahma. A few days ago I noticed she was laying in the rain, lethargic, not eating, depressed.....I immediately took her inside to inspect. I quarantined her, noticed her droppings had blood in it and all signs pointed to coccidiosis. Started her and everyone on corrid. After 24-48 hours she perked up eating seemed better. On the 3rd day I noticed a lot if blood in her back end, feathers and vent along with a prolapsed vent which was purple in color ( black and blue). I have since soaked, cleaned, took away food and treating her with Enrofloxacin just in case of infection inside along with probiotics, electrolytes, small amounts cracked corn, and no more then a few hours of light. She is alert, healthy, eating some not much and is not egg bound. I push vent back in, but it stays for a bit then pops back out again. I have used Preparation H and honey around her vent. Is it possible to have her vent stitched? She had layed from time to time extremely large eggs, possibly damaging her vent from strain, hereditary, prone to????. Any suggestions?
I am and have done all kinds of procedures on my chickens, e.g. ( Ascities removal of fluid, egg bound, bumble foot, etc....... ) I am not new to illnesses of all kinds just need help on making a decision on what's best giving her any chance of some recovery outcome.
