Hi all,
My Cayuga mix had a lot of trouble passing an egg today. It was partially sticking out and she was dragging her behind. I started to fill a bath for her, and she managed to lay it. Upon further inspection it looks like a small prolapse. How can I help her? Right now I just gave her a warm Epsom salt bath. I sprayed the area with vetricyn, then used a honey and prep H mix and eased it back in. I’ll keep her in the bathtub with blankets overnight so she’s warm. She has water but no food. I feel terribly for her! She hates being handled, so I wasn’t able to get pictures (I just focused on treating her). I will add crushed oyster shells to her food in the future, but what else should I do? Our local vet college doesn’t have an avian vet, so it’s a do it myself kind of thing. I’ll do my best to stop her from laying more eggs for the next little while. How can I help her?
