Prolapsed vent?

[kellyjo8437]

Baby goose just hatched, has prolapsed vent? Advice please. I'm reviewing Google and searching forums but also wanted to post pic of my specific issue. Thanks.

All I can say is keep it moist until the baby experts come.

A better pic might help, but to me it just looks like just a bit of open belly from hatching. It should continue to close up over the next few hours. Try to keep it on something soft where it can’t drag it and hamper the absorption.

You can rub a swab of antibiotic ointment around the outer edge of it if you want.

Keep it by itself so no one can pick at it.

Helps if you post the pic too

Hope this is better...

Yes it's alone under heat.

Hopefully it closes in the next few hours.

I agree - apply antibiotic ointment to help combat infection and keep soft until it completely absorbs. If no ointment is available, honey can be used.
