Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

[Elle111]

Wow, you got your work cut out for you. But good she's hanging in there.

I got her some amoxicillin which I think I will start today and see if that helps

 

[FreshObsessed]

She had some blood in her feces through the day. I decided to do one last soak because she was filthy and thought it might relax her muscles. I gave her antibiotics, used a syringe to fill her vent with lubricant and managed to get the prolapse all in! Looks way better. She has stopped straining and there was no blood. I used the syringe to shoot honey up her vent too in hopes of shrinking it a bit as well. So far it looks great and shes more balanced. I blow dried her and hoping for the best. Maybe it will stay in overnight. The tissue on the prolapse seemed either scabbed or dying so thats my concern now. Her skin is still raw from the diarrhea but the polysporin seems to be helping that as well. I will continue to treat with tums and monistat & antibiotics

When she pooped it came out again. But torn? The dead tissue hanging off by a thread. it pulled off without even bleeding..I don’t think that is a good sign. Underneath was pink tissue though. The remaining seems to be staying inside

I would not inject anything into the vent since that can push fecal bacteria up inside the oviduct. But just using the polysporin or honey on the outside will keep it moist and from drying out. Since there is damage and blood, I would not try pushing anything back in, but wait until swelling has decreased when it should go back in. Pink tissue is a good sign of living tissue. Dead or necrotic tissue will eventually slough off normally.

 

[FreshObsessed]

Oops! I won’t do that again then. I thought it would be less risky then inserting and doing damage. I put some more syptic powder as blood picked up again from where the dead tissue came off. I put prep h on top. For now bleeding has stopped and theres no visible prolapse. Il see how she is in the morning

 

[FreshObsessed]

This morning she is doing well prolapse wise. She appears less puffed up. Still a bit of blood overnight in her feces but not excessive. She has an appetite! And is “eatting”. Not her crumble but at least some raw egg/mash. She is drinking a ton. Yesterday she only ate force fed food/vitamins. This morning she passed a watery poop but with no blood so that was good. She is no longer straining or walking funny. Her wings seem to be held normally again and not outward like a penguin lol

 

[FreshObsessed]

Prolapse stayed in all day! Bleeding has stopped. Still has diarrhea. Back to watery green poops (however they’re actually coming out properly and not leaking down her backside), I imagine its consistency and colour is from lack of food. Still not eating her crumble/solids but will eat yogurt and such occasionally

It could be she's been in pain or still is and thus isn't eating.

If you can get some Kaytee baby parrot feed (powder) Plus Fat, that's what we've mixed in with crumbles, a raw egg yolk, a couple of drops of Poultry Cell vitamins for a few sick chickens we've had. I roll this into balls a bit larger than a pea, but smaller than a marble. Put one in her beak and wait until she swallows, then give another. Let her have water and keep doing this until you feel her crop is 1/4 to 1/2 full. Give you and her a break and try again in an hour.

I suspect she is hurting, I haven’t given pain killers due to the bleeding. I will though once I know she is no longer at risk of bleeding. Thats a great idea, I will see if the pet store nearby sells that
