Vent gleet??

Help! We have given our girl multiple warm water epsom salt soaks and she is still eating and drinking fine. She has not been going to roost at night and instead staying in a nesting box, but no eggs. I checked her for an egg, but didn’t feel anything. She is currently being quarantined. What is this?? Thanks!

I’m not sure what’s wrong! Hopefully someone comes along that can help you!

Welcome To BYC

Where is this located, above the vent or below it?

Vent Gleet is a yeast or fungal infection of the Vent (Cloaca) and is usually a white pasty yeasty discharge.

I see what looks like a tumor or cyst, not Vent Gleet.
Is this firmly attached to the skin?

Is vet care an option?

Doesn’t look like vent gleet. I agree with Wyorp Rock.
