    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    Update: I tried my best to get a vet to look at her & was super excited when I thought I had an "in" at the local vet we took our dog to for 12 years (they had to put her down last year). My hair stylist worked as a Vet Tech there for 8 years. Yes, she still has friends who work there. She...

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    I love this! "Could you check a lump on my sweet Penguin?" I think they might once again tell me no---unless we change her name. ;)

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    Update: I am beginning to think it is some sort of internal organ/hernia. She is still happy, eating, drinking, swimming & grooming herself. She has no smell at the site or signs of pus or maggots. It does appear that her thin, pink belly skin is starting to pull away or separate from the...

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    Thanks for the advice on the feathers. No fizzing with the H2O2 yesterday. I sprayed it with Vetercyn Poultry Wound Care & put some more Neosporin on it tonight. She had some water before bed and is happily sitting on her nest.

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    I'm back from Tractor Supply & Walmart. I think I am prepared for the worst & still hoping for the best. At this point, I am going to leave her sit on her eggs until they hatch. She doesn't seem bothered by the protrusion. She came out and got some food & water a couple of times today, and...

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    I'm willing to try anything to save her! I have been googling all day.....I found some great info on cutting into infected areas here on BYC. I have a shopping list all ready to go & am ready to head to TSC to pick up "surgery" supplies. Oddly enough, my 17 year old daughter is applying to...

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    She is in a shed with an OSB floor covered with a EPDM (synthetic rubber roofing membrane). She has a LOT of straw (approx. 12 inches deep when I put it down), but I have noticed her nest is much closer to the flooring material (maybe 1 inch of straw on the bottom) because she works very hard...

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    Ugh. No luck with the vet's office. Proud flesh is interesting---I never heard of it, but I guess that's a possibility (after some googling). I'm not sure if there is anything else I can do for her if that is the case. Does anyone think I should try to pluck her feathers around the...

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    I'm not sure if it's a wound---I didn't notice blood anywhere (but she might have washed it off in the pool). There was a crack in the corner of one of their pools a few weeks ago (we have since thrown it out & replaced the pool), so maybe she cut herself on that crack??? The soft pink belly...

    What is this bulge sticking out of my duck's chest?!?! HELP!

    There is a strange HARD bulge on her front. It is yellow-ish & appears to have some dark red (tissue??? meat????) on it. It is a little larger than a quarter. There is no other trauma to the duck. We just noticed it last night. There do not appear to be missing feathers in the region. It...
