The prolapsed story:
We spotted “Gurtie’s” prolapse on Saturday -6 days ago. Since then we have done the following:
Taken her away from the other girls & bob the cockerel.
We have kept her in a box for the majority of the day away from the light and fed her small amounts of corn along with the occasional boiled egg.
Bathed her twice a day and cleaned her up then applied honey and prep h to her prolapse. We did initially try to gently push the prolapse in, but see kept pushing this out again.
We have kept up this routine now for 6 days, but not really pushed the prolapse back in. It is not as bad as it was and i feel is slowly retracting....but still not quick enough for my liking.
She does have a hard piece of poo that is slowly coming away after soaking and until this is finally off then I will not push the prolapse back in, I feel that this being a hard scab will just make her push back out.
Can anybody offer any further advice on this....She is still very chirpy and is her usual self even when we are messing around with her vent.
I do have one concern on the anatomy of her: The egg vent is on the left and the poo hole is on the right is this correct?
Secondly when we do push the prolapse back in, how should we do this and how far and in which way should we do this......I have searched a lot of forums and there is not a clear indication on how to do this.....
