Thanks a lot. My vet agreed to take a look at her and it is a blow out alright. We decided against sutures due to a possible egg and she was xrayed. It showed nothing but she did lay an egg the next day to my surprise. She has been in a darkened room in my house for five days. I got a lot of the muck off her after two baths. I put some preparation H on her and my vet gave me some lube for the vent. I notice that yesterday there was no prolapse but she still has a big bulge and has it today. I am checking on her constantly and cancelled all my plans to stay at home. But I cannot go on like this indefinitely. No egg today. She is eating a lot of spring mix lettuce but very little layer feed. She is drinking and eating. How long will this bulge remain? I am no longer inserting my finger into her as the vet doesn't want me to - gotta get that swelling down somehow!
