Nicola O Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Well, not mine obviously but was just out tucking everyone in and noticed on of the ex bats had a prolapse and very mucky bum. Brought her in, washed and blow dried her and checked it over. It's a bit bigger than a large marble, and the surface was already scabbing over so she must of had it a few days (feel terrible that I hadn't noticed it before but we've had such awful weather I hadn't been out to them as much as usual). It did pop back in but then popped out again. I've sprinkled it with sugar but I only have 'splenda', will that work just the same?? She is in the dog crate in the shed tucking into a bowl of corn. She seems fine in herself, she certainly isn't bothered by it and luckily it doesn't seem that any of the others had been either. Off to read up on it in Poultry Health now.

Nicola O Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Forgot to say, tomorrow I'll get some Prep H. from the chemist and try to pop it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Sounds like you are doing all the right things and that it isn't too big. Good luck tomorrow. The others might notice it more now she's all cleaned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Got the Prep. H, and as my sister (who is a Vet. Nurse) has been here today she has helped me. Bathed and dried her again, applied the stuff and my sister decided to deal with the 'business' end for me and so far it has stayed in. Chookie layed an egg today, but I'm hoping that as she has spent just over 24 hours in the dark that there won't be one tomorrow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
