whoopsie Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hi all, I have hunted round the site but still have questions please. My old ex batt(Vidor) has just had a bath to clean up a very smelly bottom. I have noticed a horrible smell and white discharge which washed away easily, but when I let her back in the garden she prolapsed when trying to poo. The prolapse went straight back in. Otherwise she is healthier than she has ever been. Any ideas please? She does have a tendency to sit in the muck pile so I don't know if she has just been straining. Thanks in advance.

PixieDust Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Sorry I can't offer any advice but didn't want to leave your post unanswered. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Did you put the prolapse back manually? If she has had a prolapse you need to stop her laying otherwise it will pop straight back out. I would put her in a darkened box and withhold feed for 24 hours and give her water with a vitamin supplement. If it pops out again then maybe try again but you may be out of luck and a trip to the vets maybe your only option. If it popped back on its own it may not have been a prolapse but the discharge and smell may be vent glee, a thrush infection that thrives on damp warm skin?

Claireabella Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Sorry no advice re the prolapse but my first thought would be vent gleet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Not a prolapse. Ruled that one out. Bathed her again today and saw mites though, so now I need to work out what they are and how to treat them. Still noticed white discharge that looked like dry poo but wasn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 What do I do about a vent glee please? Never heard of that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 They are lice not mites. Yuck. Now I need to find the right treatment and disinfect the eglu again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
