🐔 Got a fellow vet who always has chickens on the case list? Send this their way! This quick guide on cloacal prolapse could make a big difference in their next appointment. Let’s help each other keep our feathered patients happy and healthy! • 🧐 Recognizing this condition early and knowing how to manage it can make all the difference! First things first, identify the type of prolapsed tissue. Is it oviductal (pink with striations) or rectal (pink but no striations)? If there’s no feces passing through, it could be due to an obstruction. Time to investigate! • 🧪 Diagnostics include a thorough cloacal exam, radiographs to rule out egg binding, coelomic ultrasound, and a fecal exam to catch parasitic causes. A simple check with a lubricated glove or cotton-tipped applicator will help you determine where the tissue is coming from, making diagnosis clearer • 💉 Treatment starts with supportive care—analgesics, anti-inflammatories, and fluids to stabilize the chicken. Don’t forget to address any husbandry issues like poor nutrition or improper housing. For more severe cases, surgical intervention might be necessary. Vent width reduction using stay sutures or a transcutaneous cloacopexy can do wonders for preventing future prolapses! Just make sure you leave enough space for the chicken to go about its business as usual. • 🐥 After surgery, recovery is usually smooth if the underlying causes are properly managed. And don’t forget—prevention is key! Regular deworming, proper diet, and stress management can go a long way in keeping these chickens healthy and avoiding prolapses in the future. • 🐓 So, next time you encounter a cloacal prolapse, you’ll know exactly what to do!
