Prolapsed vent help

My last Tuesday I noticed one of my girls had a prolapsed vent. It was pretty substantial but didn’t look like the others had started going after it yet. I’ve tried epsom baths, sugar, preparation h, vetericyn. We were able to get the vent back in and we held it for 20-60 min at a time but every time we put her down she poops and it comes out again. Two days in we had to help her pass an egg around 12 then again that same night. The second egg was very rubbery she’ll. She’s not laid since. She eats and drinks fine and we try to keep it moist with preparation h and vetericyn but as of Friday we can’t get the vent to go back at all. We let it sit to see if the swelling would go down. Today my husband was unable to come home on lunch to spray and now the prolapse is rock hard She’s currently in the bath to see if we can’t soften it back up but I’m at a loss as what to do next. Do we keep trying or is it time? Unfortunately I don’t have an affordable vet option. The only one I’ve found in the area that would treat her says she’s considered an exotic and it’s a pretty large amount just to see her.
