Help!! Prolapse??

[kmern]

Hi there,

My year old laying Silkie hen expelled a large blood clot yesterday so I started the whole flock on Amperol for possible coccidiosis.
This morning, it appears the hen had pushed out her bowel? Does this look like a prolapse and should I gently push it back in??

Oh my goodness um do you have a vet? If not let me run up and grab my book so I can tell you what these people did for there hen who lived

I found this pic online of a chicken who had a prolapse it looks like your hens issue so I’m guessing that’s what it is

I have her on the bath now

Um, wow. I've never dealt with an issue like that. I hope she makes it!

I was able to put it back in. Now she is just looking around, I’m wondering if she has to pass an undeveloped egg. She won’t drink or eat, but I did place her beak into water with some a tum in it for calcium

That looks much better! You should keep her inside, just for easy monitoring.

I agree! Thank you!

Good job! Hope she eats and drinks soon!
