That's a good point Chris made there actually Bionic. First eggs are generally tiny things and work up to being more 'normal' sized so unlikely to be the cause of the prolapse. Makes it more confusing and don't know what you're dealing with. Hopefully someone else might.

Well, I gave her backside a wash in warm salty water but couldn't get all the mucky bits off.  There certainly wasn't an egg stuck.

She didn't seem to mind being poked about. I put honey on the protruding bits and then pushed them back in.

To be honest it wasn't as difficult or horrible as I expected. I have put her in a cardboard box in the stable and will check on her tomorrow morning.

Assuming she looks ok when can she join the other girls?

When the prolapsing has stopped Sally. So when she is pooing normally without problems. You will need to keep a careful eye on her.
