I e-mailed Terry from “The Hen Cam” for advice. She has dealt with two hens with prolapse, successfully. She said to wash her gently with water. Push the prolapse back in and smear with honey.<\/p>\n

Honey is hydrophobic and sticky and she said it worked better than anything else she had tried. It’s also a natural antibiotic.<\/p>\n

As soon as the shops opened my husband went out for the honey as we didn’t have any in. I soaked Rusty in a bowl of warm water and cleaned her as best I could. It was really difficult to get her clean. By the time I had done that the prolapse appeared to have gone back in so I just smeared it with honey. I dried her as best I could and put her in the cat box on a towel.<\/p>\n

I gave her a dish of water and a dish with a little corn and a chopped grape. She ate some grape. Terry said to keep her on light food and water for a couple of days to reduce the poop and the straining.<\/p>\n

My biggest worry now is that all this will have stressed her. I really hope I have done the right thing and am willing her to get better.<\/p>\n

I will have to go out shortly to do my deliveries. When I get back I plan on letting her into the run for a poop and exercise then will put her back in the cat box. I will report back later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
