Vent issues in rooster ! !!!Graphic photos!!!

Update... I took him to a vet this morning and he has a tumor.. my options are surgery which will cost me at least $700 or just wait it out and see if it shrinks and hope it doesn't close up so he can't poop.... Just my luck.

Very sorry to hear this verdict.

Is pooping painful for him?

Maybe try an antibiotic as a last resort. And in case it does not improve his condition in a timely manner, I would help him out of his misery.

There are several quick methods to choose from without having to spend on another vet visit.

Sorry to hear about your rooster. Did the vet seem knowledgeable about prolapses and chickens? I had wondered about a tumor, but the suggestion of a prolapse that had become necrotic seemed more likely. Cancer of different kinds is really common in chickens. I would have to agree that putting him down might be the kindest way to keep him from suffering. It is never easy, but sometimes we have all had to do it.
