Hello.
This morning my family found our 4-year-old (estimate) Buff Orpington had a huge yellow mass below her vent. She had tons of maggots feeding off of the wound, which is obviously infected. She surprisingly wasn't very affected by this mass. She is breathing heavily and is pretty tired, though she had moments of energy throughout the day. We picked the wound clean of as many maggots as possible, and cannot currently find anymore. We are keeping her in a pet carrier in our garage with the blinds open to let in sunlight. We've fed her water with some vitamins, and sprayed the wound with this. We also gave her a bath in Epson salts. What should we do to get rid of the mass, what is it, is it vent prolapse? How should we prevent it from happening in the future?
