Update: I'm so happy to be able to report some good news today! It was a welcome surprise when I pulled Lacey out of her crate for a soak, to find that her prolapse was gone. She took care of it and tucked it back in all by herself! I couldn't stop telling her how proud I was. ☺️ Good job girlie. She also fought me quite bit getting out of the crate, and was squirmy while carrying her to the soak. She definitely has more pep in her step, and is feeling better.
I soaked her anyway to get some of the crusty bits of her feathers, but everything looks great back there. I didn't find any egg material which is a concern still, so I dosed with calcium citrate again, and her herbal antibiotic for safety. Hopefully she'll start passing things soon now that her prolapse is back in.

This is a wonderful update!

I'd keep up with the Calcium and your herbal treatments for several more days. The Calcium helps with retention and your herbs may help stave off infection. The picked tissue still has some healing to do, but all sounds like it's going very well!
Keep it up Girl! You're doing good:)

I’m so happy she’s moving in the right direction, super glad that I css as n have a win on this one. ☺️
Will do! With her new spunk I’m sure she’ll make it quite difficult on me, but I’m certainly okay with that. :D
Thank you! I really appreciate everyone’s help, I needed this guidance.
