What did you do with your flock today?

Poor baby! She must be so uncomfortable. What have you tried so far? An experienced vet can aspirate the egg then extract the shell, then purse string suture the vent in place as a last resort, if that's a possibility for you?
I guess it could be a possibility if she doesn't lay the egg by tonight...
I've tried pushing it in and holding it closed, rinsing it out with glucose water, smothering raw honey and cortisone cream on it to reduce the swelling, I'm smashing up calcium pills and putting those in her food. Didn't try the bath because it's definitely a waste of time, so I went right in for the more invasive method. She's had about 3 pills worth of the powder in her food (that is if she eats all of it...) She is REALLY straining this morning and when she does strain her prolapse gets humungous...I hope she's trying to push the egg out?
 
Oh my goodness. I've never dealt with this but it sounds heartbreaking. So sorry for you and her. :hugs
@ValerieJ and everyone...

Dottie is also very thankful for all the help ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Hey @FBMcrazy8 ! Yes you have been busy!! I am so happy to hear tornado missed you. Did it affect neighbors or towns close by? Hope all are well.
Ducks are BEAUTIFUL. Horse is stunning too. Big adventures ♡ glad you are well.
Thank you! We are looking at possibly a black Arabian for her to be friends with. We aren’t set yet as he comes with other responsibilities aside from what our girl needs, but not terrible either.

How are you doing? It’s been so long!

Luckily we were the worst hit. And it wasn’t terrible…it could have been WAY worse. Threw some metal around, including our ‘80 Chevy Monte Carlo hood, and that thing is some seriously heavy metal, and 2 fences taken out. Luckily the fences weren’t holding thing but one was decoration and the other is a privacy fence used to help with the wind.
 
How gorgeous! I love the look of the Australian Spotted. They look like they've been gently coated in spray paint 😁
Your mare is soo pretty. I absolutely love Arabians. She looks to be a classic type without that extreme 'teacup' muzzle that is so fashionable now?
I used to show a deep mahogany bay colt in my late teens. Gorgeous boy. He was 'stallion' enough to turn on the sparkle in the ring but an absolute gentleman out of it. He qualified for Olympia, a big show over here. He was sold onto a non-showing home, sadly, as I think he would have gone far. The owners knew the family well and most importantly, knew he'd have a happy life with them.
I've also shown Welsh ponies and cobs and once, a Hackney horse. That was an absolute disaster! I couldn't keep up with her, got tangled in the lead rein and tripped over. We came last 🤣
She is a classic! I have to go back and look but she has some old classic lines in her. The lady that has her daddy is a good friend of mine, and she can tell me more. I’m still learning 😂. But she breeds the welsh ponies to her Arabian stallion and those babies are some lookers!! I personally don’t like the teacup look.

I hate the teacup look too. It's so unnatural.
The colt I used to show was almost straight English Crabbet breeding but he quite randomly had one grandsire who was a Polish racehorse.
Welsh/Arab crosses are well established over here. As you say, they are stunning! 😍
 
Aww, she's such a pretty girl! How's the prolapse doing?
Bad 😭 Somehow she's in more pain than before she laid her egg....When she strains, she closes her eyes and clucks in pain, someone told me that the prolapse would go back in but it's not....Thinking about the vet. I want to push it back in so badly but I don't want to irritate it more than it already is.....Do you think another egg could be coming???
