OK I have a HUGE dilemma! A few days ago, friday, my silkie had a prolapsed vent. The egg was actually hanging out with a membrane wrapped around it and it looked like a testicle hanging there. She had laid her normal egg and this was a second one that she normally doesnt lay till 25 hours later. The egg wasnt any bigger then the first, but it had a much thinner shell and was kinda spotted. I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO! So i got on line and i read where you could make a small incision in the membrane with a sterile razor blade to get the egg out and put some hemorrhoid cream on it to shrink the membrane back in. Of course i washed off the area best i could and tried to keep it all as sterile as possible. The vent bulge did go down a little but not all the way. i separated her from my other silkies in a large cage and gave her some food and water. She ate and drank a little, but the next day i noticed there was alot of pee and poop on the bulging vent, so i didnt give her any food for one day and a half ( thinking that maybe that would help with the poop not getting on her so much, im not wanting to starve her or hurt her in any way, so please dont think that), but still gave her water and cleaned the area best i could and reapplied the cream. I know shes was stressed with the situation so i pretty much left her a lone yesterday and gave her food ( not her normal chicken feed though) and water which she ate. I had read to give her just scratch which i did. The scratch i use i a mixture if different seeds, not just corn. Her vent is still bulging a little, better then what it was, but now there is more poop and pee all over her butt. So this evening im going to get a bucket of warm water and wash her butt off good and reapply the cream. Oh and she hasnt laid an egg since this happened so i dont know if that second egg was "sundays" egg and she wont lay till tomorrow. I was also going to see what happens when she lays her egg, if her vent will be "ok". Im stressing over this cause im at a loss… I have chicken books but none of them tell me what to actually do for this. So heres my questions…. Do chickens survive this kind of thing and what is the "normal" time does it take to heal?….What should i look for if there is an infection inside her?…Could this situation possibly force her into "molting"?( a chicken farmer said that might help her, but i dont have a pure dark place to keep her for a couple days, and that was all the advice he could give me)… What has anyone else done in this situation and would you recommend anything else? Am i doing the right thing?

Please know that I am NOT wanting her to suffer in any way and if she must be put down then, even though i hate the thought of losing her, i would do it. I am not in ANY way trying to be cruel to her or harm her. And I get NO PLEASURE out of this. I just want to do whats best for her, so please help me help her. Thank you for your time and your response…..LEBE

I use to have a lil lump on my butt i knew it was a hemorrhoid but i didn’t think anything about it. Well it popped. it is completely deflated now so i know it popped. when i try and go to the bathroom i get severe pain to mild sometimes, threess almost always blood, anywhere from a tiny drop, to a LOT. Is there any way i can heal this or just get it to not hurt without having to have surgery?

I’ve always had problems with external hemorroids, and have had them cut out a couple of times, but everytime they cut them out it leaves a lose piece of skin around the butthole, This has caused me to have to wipe extra long and causing my to bleed sometimes. I’ve talked to a couple of doctors about this and they say it’s normal, well I dont think having an open wound in my crack could be very healthy. It’s almost impossible to get completly clean without having to stick a piece of paper halfway up my butt and try to clean behind the lose skin from where the hemorroids that were removed. then after an hour or so I’ve got to go back to the bathroom to make sure no more worked its way out. I’m sure no doctor wants to work on buttholes, but I’m getting sick of it. Anyone got any suggestions.

I have the hemorrhoid ointment. I have tuck wipes.
I’ve been sitting in warm baths. I feel a little too sensitive for ice.
I’ve seen a doctor. (rather not have any surgery done.)
I don’t sit directly on my butt. I lie on my left side when sleeping.
I found a couple yoga poses that I’ll try but I am pregnant.

Anything that you’ve found that really gets rid of them fast? or faster?
Thank you. *ouch*

Whenever I go poo, my butt hurts really bad. At first I thought I had hemorrhoids, but I don’t bleed when I go. It feels like I brushed up on a scab and it hurts whenever I sit on a regular chair. What’s wrong with me?
