Turkey with a Vent Prolapse

[Turkey Girl]

Hi. Last week I discovered my eight-year-old narragansett hen had a vent prolapse. I went through the procedure of repeatedly pushing the prolapse back inside, and it hasn't stayed in on its own over the past seven days. I have kept her in the dark, and she has passed two eggs--both the size of the eggs my bantams lay, and one was without a shell. I have been spraying her with vetericyn to keep the tissue from getting infected/drying. There is a steady stream of clear, thick liquid (uric acid?) that keeps dripping from her vent. Despite all of this, she is extremely active. Does anyone know of anything else I can do to help her? It's been a week, and I'm really starting to get worried.

I should also mention that she keeps acting like she is trying to push something out, even though the prolapse is already out. I don't feel an egg when she does this, but she has been laying eggs way smaller than normal.
