Here is some further information for you that may help...but first a picture. This is what happened to my girl, Fancy...in less than 3 hours. I fed them and cleaned waterer, scooped poop and played with everyone....3 hours later she looked like this
It is a bit hard to see but her vent was enlarged and the opening stayed about the size of a dime. Everytime she exhaled, I heard a sort of sucking slushy sound...that is how I found out the airsac was ruptured...so listen for that or watch her vent for air bubbles in the blood when she is breathing.
Keep her in a quiet place, make sure she is warm and all cleaned and doctored up. Yogurt, scrambled egg and electrolytes will all benefit her by extra protein intake and keep her from dehydrating.
Keep us posted and updated please. Consider giving the girls more room or something to play with ...a small head of lettuce cut in half will occupy them and not hurt them...they will busy themselves with pulling pieces off or a half a watermelon...until you can get them in bigger digs.
They are fragile and can die quickly because they hide illness so well but they are also very tough when it comes to injury...and recover from some gruesome injuries...so I have faith that she will heal if nothing else has been injured and no infection or illness takes hold.
