Hen appears to be healed as of today. No more prolapse. No dripping vent. Her vent feathers are pristine since there's no leak and she can properly preen. She's been laying eggs this entire time, maybe every other day. Glad I didn't have to cull. Thank you for the assistance.
Likely diagnosis:
vent gleet, prolapse.
Summary of what was done:
* isolated her in kennel.
* gave her pre-biotics and apple cider vinegar in her water
* Epsom salt bath (every 3 days)
* daily application to her vent: preparation-H, antifungal (Clotrimazole USP 1%), Terramycin. All are over-the-counter medications.
