She did not appreciate it
My poor soggy baby

🤣 Sorry, that little face, she's not happy is she!

How's the vent looking?
Is she straining to poop?

If the swelling is not going down, then 2X a day would be best if possible, but you can get by with 1 if necessary. Just keep the ointment/oil on the vent to keep it from drying out.

She did not enjoy the bath
It’s less dirty but still swollen, she doesn’t seem to be struggling to poop but she does keep picking at it with her beak
Alright I will do all of that

She may over time decide the soaking is not too bad.

Watch to make sure she's not damaging the skin/tissue with her picking at it. It may be painful, itch, etc. Keep the tissue coated well with your oil/ointment.

Hopefully this will get better soon, it can take time for swelling to reduce.
