Still haveing butt issues Need more advice please

[gabrielle1976]

I posted awhile back about a little bobs butt issue. He is still haveing it . He eats and drinking and although he is the smallest of the bobs he seems fairly healthy but his bottom stinkins and he always has stuff all over his back end. I wash it off and I actually ended up plucking alot of his bottom feathers cause they got caked with stuff they came out super easy not sure if thats normal. He has a large buldge above his tail its the wierdest thing it kinda gives me the creeps actually is this normal in bobs the rest wont stop freaking out long enoug for me to look he is pretty docile. DOes it have something to do with what ever is wrong with him. I tried antibotics in there water for like five days and it made no diffrence so I stopped. I thank you for any insight.
Here he or she is I have no idea how to tell.
This is what his vent looks like now, this is after a bath to clean up.
This is the thing above his tail there is this thing one layer of tail feathers then his vent. It looks alot like a brain, its really firm to the touch like a bannana and has a little tag of skin that sticks out like a nose . Its the wierdest thing.
Ewww I feel bad for this baby.
A side view so you can seethe wierd skin thing and how it goes weird thing a few tail feathers vent ..
Him just chillin in his happy place waiting for me to stop tourtureing him

should I try oral antiboitocs. If I know what to ask for my vet might give them to me without an office visit wich I cant aford Id do it if it was an emergancy but he has been like this for weeks while I have tried anything i can think of and dosnt seem ready to be called horrilby sick yet.
THanks everyone.

That is its tail sticking out the back -- don't worry about it it'll be fine once the feathers grow back on. Don't give it any (anymore) antibiotics. Disrupted gut flora is why it got pasty butt in the first place and antibiotics will make it worse. Not sure what you've tried/done thus far but I'll give it a shot. Mix some apple-cider vinegar in the water. Two teaspoonsful in a quart of water is fine. After a couple of days you should start to see an improvement. I'd recommend the Bragg's as it is unpasteurized. You may have several folks (or a whole lot) try to discredit the benefits of ACV but just ignore them. If possible can you put the bird by itself for a few days and see if it don't start to grow some of the feathers back in.

Thank you. Should I look for the ACV at the grocers or like a health food store. Im glad thats just his taill shure is weierd looking though lol. I tried warm baths , no treats just normal food, antibiotics, kieeping his vent lubed up with a little bit of baby grade vasline to keep things from sticking or irritateing it ect. Its not as buldgeing as it use to be so thats an improvemetn but his but still gets all yucky with stuff ans smells bad . I will try the viniger . Thanks again.

I've found the Bragg's in any of the larger grocery stores. When you say "normal" food do you mean chick starter (or equivalent/balanced fowl ration)? Stay on the straight and narrow for the time being. It actually looks pretty good all things considered. You just need to get the gut back in order and it should sort itself out. You may consider some yogurt with active culture. Activia is one that comes to mind. That is one lucky bird to have ended up with you. Best of luck.
