My beloved hen developed vent prolapse 3-4 days ago. At first it wasn't too bad, for the first two days I gave her warm bathes for 10 mins, then I would try and lead her inners back inside her fro 10 mins, then I would put pertroliem jelly all over her vent and inners. For litter I've been using pieces of boxes so it wouldn't be sharp for her.
Day before yesterday she tried laying an egg and almost died. My sister and I helped her and after a large struggle she pushed the egg out, but that greatly worsened her prolapse and now it's about 3" of inners out of her. Last night I gave her treatment again but it didn't seem to help.
Then I did a major mistake and tried to orally dose her with 1 ml (1 cc) of Rooster Booster Poultry Cell, and she aspirated on it. I've given orally dosing to chickens before and don't believe this has ever happened. Last night I did research and everything I read said all I could do is wait it out so I did.
She so far has survived thankfully but I think some of the rooster booster may still be in her lungs because she sounds weird now when she talks to me.
She also has a poor appetite.
Any advice about what I should do about the aspiration and vent prolapse is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
