    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    Interesting - my khakis seem to be my healthiest ducks thus far (knock on wood). I love the look of my Welsh ducks, but have had nothing but problems. My other welsh has had leg problems that took months to fix.

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    I ordered enrofloxacin, but it has not arrived yet (expected tomorrow), but not sure if that will help at that point. She is not doing well this afternoon so I am just working to make her comfortable and letting her sleep. It’s sad and she’s the first duck I’ve had issues with, but I feel like I...

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    I was wondering about a potential tumor as well. I don’t really want to cull her at this point, she’s still eating and enjoys attention/pets. Since the prolapse (or tumor, who knows) doesn’t go in and causes her pain if I try, I might just stop trying to force it and just leave it out.

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    Well it’s been a little over a week and your suggestions worked great and she was doing fabulous - no prolapse issues at all! Until yesterday when she decided to do this…i applied prep h/antibitotic, etc and it’s MUCH harder to reinsert and I can see it’s causing her pain. She has been eating...

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    Is that why the tissue around the vent is purple? What would cause that, egg laying?

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    Thought the treatment worked, no problems the past 48 hours. Just went to check on her and not looking good anymore :(

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    Thank you, I went and purchased the ointments. After soaking her today I noticed some of the yellow stuff is loose and coming off with pink tissue underneath

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    Doesn’t really smell (even though it seems to be turning more yellow). Eating/drinking the same as usual. How is vent gleet treated? I cannot find much information regarding ducks for this

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    Thanks for the picture, that is good to know! I’ve attached pictures from this morning. She layed another egg and is in good spirits. I am wondering if it is a prolapse at all? I can’t really see it unless I part her feathers, it isn’t visible when she is walking about. It seems to be yellowish...

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    It is kinda squishy, except there is a whiteish part that feels rough like sandpaper. I will try to get updated pictures sometime tomorrow. It slides back in easily and stays (usually until she poops), and one edge of the mass seems to be attached to the top of her vent lip

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    That’s what I’m starting to question, she’s acting perfectly normal and still laying eggs? I would’ve thought a prolapse would get worse/larger if an egg was layed?

    Prolapse? Won’t stay in and looks strange

    I noticed what appears to be a prolapse with my Female Welshe Harlequinn yesterday (first picture). I was able to re insert it, but every time she poops it comes back out, although not visible unless I flip her and check. It is about the size of a nickel. She layed an egg this morning, but...

    Concrete Run

    We have a large concrete slab and the location would be great for our duck coop and run (we have 6 ducks). I know concrete is bad for their feet, but is there any type of mat or base layer we could put down so we can have the run and coop on top of the concrete? Or would finding a grass area be...
