You are welcome.....

keep it separated from the other chickies...
dip its little bum in some warm sterile saline solution and when dry use some of that prepH formulation>the one that has the witchhazel in it...

thanks for the advice everyone!

i'm happy (and relieved) to report that it went back in. she looks just fine now!

OT: my 2 1/2 year old daughter named her this morning...she is now known as 'tomten'...a character in one of her favorite books.

thanks again everyone...so glad i found this forum!

Glad she's okay. Keep an eye on her for a day or two to make sure it doesn't happen again. My cat had issues for weeks.
