Prolaspe and possible egg bound

[Ridgeback825]

We finally got the swelling down from our girl with a prolapse by using raw honey. It was a miracle worker after trying all kinds of things. It's also the best antibacterial agent and all natural. I'd try to slather her but with raw honey and keep her in a dark place for a week. Hoping for the best and don't give up on her as this can usually be helped and they go on like normal.

Also, our girl was pushing constantly so I rubbed around her vent with an ice cube to force the pucker effect instead of a push. It seemed to help as well with only a few seconds of ice every few minutes for about 5 cycles.

Right now I'm using some Cortisone cream to help with inflammation but I can try honey as well. She isn't pushing right now. She's just preening herself and resting. I think that's a good sign. Thanks for the encouragement! She's my favorite girl!

Here's the update, she has perked up a little but still no egg. She has tried to pass it but nothing has come out (tissue has stayed inside!). She is able to poop so that's a good sign. She's not interested in water but is interested in food. However, her crop is the size of a clementine and is pretty firm. I gave her some coconut oil and massaged it upwards but that only resulted in her pooping on my leg. I did not notice a reduction in the size of her crop. I understand that she might be backed up with this bound egg and that it might take a while to empty the crop. I'm not sure if I should just let her do her thing or if there is something else I should be doing to assist her. She did get calcium around 10:30 this morning.

I'm one that is inclined to let them do their thing.
I'd provide her with water and some soupy feed. Allow her to move about if possible or even go outside to enjoy some sunshine for a while.
Keep up with the Calcium.
Pooping is good.

Permit her to eat and drink as she wants. Yes, the crop condition is a result of the oviduct blockage. It will clear when the blockage does. Be patient. This can take time.

Okay! Can do. Thank you both! I appreciate your help so much!!

Great news! We have an egg(and some curious dogs)!! Vent looks good right now. Hoping the swelling goes down and hoping her crop empties over the next day or so.

Awesome!!!! Success!

Keep up the calcium for two more days just to be sure.

Will do! Thanks again for your help and encouragement!
