Good luck to you. I hope this girl can recover, you've put so much effort into it.

I think she will be ok as long as I can get it to stay and this infection clears. Still 3-5 more antibiotic shots to though. Thanks!!

I love those. Especially the last one. If the ace doesn't do the trick I'm gonna try that

About the same except starting last night she doesn't want to eat. I gave her some cherry tomatoes which she can't resist and she ate those. Left some yogurt and feed in there but if she doesn't eat that I'll give her more tomatoes. She needs to eat something. Prolapse out again! Tried the sling last night but keeps moving around and it wasn't working out. Trying a different method when my husband gets home from work cause now she just irritatable so it's gonna take 2. My daughter said her tail was down for a couple hours while I was at work this morning but tail is up and she's just staring at the corner of the kennel. Poor little girl. The white stuff always covering her prolapse

Is it still really red and swollen? Or has that subsided some? Has she laid any more eggs? I've heard that you can give chickens a very small amount of asprin, but I'm not sure of the dosge. I just found this conversation on giving asprin. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...s-or-aspirin-in-poultry-or-fowl.239791/page-2

It's subsided since I took the original pic. Still red but lots of white something on it. She still has some days of antibiotics left. She been kept in the dark so hasn't layed which is good. I just can't get the prolapse to stay put I've tried to different ways but she moves around so much the sling ends up in wrong spot shortly after I put it on. I tried putting her in a smaller kennel but she freaked

I got her to eat some today but I feel like she losing weight but up till last night she been eating well

It could take awhile. Took my hen's prolapse quite awhile, too. I hope she can hang in there.
