whoopsie Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 One of my exbatts is under the weather. She's always been skinny and is bald around her bum and underneath which can be a healthy pink or bright red and sore looking. I bath her when I can and use vaseline/nappy cream (!) which seems to soothe. Tonight she lloks like she's got a prolapsed vent and is leaking straw coloured liquid as well as normal poo. She's eating and drinking, and laying daily. Any suggestions gratefully accepted please. Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 If it is a prolapse then she will need to see a vet. There is advice here and you could try replacing it but my honest advice is that she's probably reached the end of the road. You can't leave a prolapse as it will get infected and the other hens will peck it, so remove her from the run and try and get to a vet tomorrow.

whoopsie Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks Olly I will call them tomorrow. The prolapse has gone back in but she's pecking herself I think . I'm on bloody jury service this week so I hope she will be ok a few more days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
