Constantly Talkin Bout Chickens
Hello, this is the story of Dottie (I'll try to make it a short version of the story.)
She had a prolapsed vent, then the vet fixed it. That problem is over and she's acting completely normal and eating fine now. After that, she got flystrike because her drippy poop that was pasted all over her vent from when she had a prolapse and couldn't poop properly attracted the flies....That issue is over as well.
When she had her suture removed from her vent, the vet said that she might not be laying because she system is "off" after what all happened to here. But it has been about 2 weeks and she still hasn't laid. She is acting normal otherwise, not like she is eggbound or anything. The only issue is that her butt is actually dripping. Dripping an orange-ish redd-ish, yellow-ish liquid.
That liquid comes out especially when she poops...
(Plz excuse the build-up of poop, she pooped that much in the night and we haven't got to changing her bedding yet.)
I bet it's blood, or something else such as the innards of an egg if it cracked in her. The weird thing is that sometimes it can be red, other times it's orange-y. Again, she is pooping normally (a lot actually! She has been eating a lot ever since her recovery from her prolapse.) We don't want to go into the vet again as we don't want to spend any more money, and I tried to ask a vet online but there was a fee involved...So I'm hoping that I'll find answers on here
Ok, so my questions are:
1. What could the liquid coming from her vent be from?
2. What can I do to help her without having to go to the vet?
Thanks so much!
