I have a pullet about 14 weeks old who was injured by an older hen when I was trying to introduce them. By the time I found her, her rear area was in bad shape, bleeding and open wounds. I immediately separated her in a dog crate in the garage where she seemed to mostly recover for a few weeks. I put her back out in the run which is sand/dirt (in an isolated section). I have noticed she has had a continuous clear fluid leaking from her tiny vent with alittle white build up. I have cleaned her bottom and the wounds have healed but there is a little red spot on her vent. Is it possible that she has vent gleet from the injury? If so I would assume it is an infection but I am not sure how to treat it. She is acting normal otherwise, eating, drinking etc. Although yesterday she wouldn't open one eye, but today was fine (not sure if that is related). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
