    URGENT - Please help! Duck has prolapsed vent

    Donnie is so happy with his new friend, Marie. I kept a fence between them for the first day but the following morning I just had a hunch that they would be fine together. Sure enough they are already like two peas in a pod following each other around the yard. Donnie is eating like his old...

    Donnie, our drake is seeming VERY depressed about Minnie being gone. :( He hasn't hardly ate anything (except a few peas and treats) in 4 days. I keep talking to him and giving him his favorite food/treats but he seems uninterested. His food pan looks the same almost as it did on Saturday...

    Also, does anyone know if a Pekin male can live with a Crested Pekin female?

    Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It's been a hard couple days. We let Donnie out with the chickens to cheer him up and he just sat in front of the glass patio door looking at the duck reflection in the window. He started rubbing his head against the door and has never done that...

    Took Minnie to my vet and he did attempt to look at her which I appreciated. He really wasnt sure what exactly had happened but he kept saying "Yeah, this isn't good....I can't fix this." Minnie had to go to sleep. I miss her already. Thank you all for your efforts. I wish we could have...

    Just trying to think ahead - would the new mate for Donnie have to be his exact breed? Or could it be a crested pekin, etc? This really sucks! I could hardly sleep last night. My stomach is so sick knowing Minnie is out in the garage like that. I can hear Donnie calling for her this morning...

    I will definately ask the vet if he will try to treat her...he is a very nice man but vets in this area are VERY strict about not treating any farm animals. Not sure why so strict - isn't an animal an animal? I'm so mad that this had to happen. She has been just fine and happy.

    Does it have to be a female or could two males live peacefully together?

    Checked on her this morning and the bulge looks the same size. When I take her in to the vet this morning, I will ask him if there is ANYTHING he is willing to do...however, he ageed to put her down just to be humane and because I am a good customer...they do not treat farm animals at all...

    URGENT - Please help! Duck has prolapsed vent

    Went to the store, got all the meds and wrap, etc. Cleaned the 'bulge' again, applied Preperation H, and attempted by best to wrap it. I couldn't get the wrap to stay on...it just kept falling off. I'm in tears over here...I want to help Minnie so much and I feel like a failure. I had to...

    Thank you all - going to put the preperation-H, epson compress etc on her now. Then going to bed and will check on her in the morning. Without a vets help I am very overwhelmed and not feeling overly confident about this. I appreciate so much everyone caring and helping. You are all awesome...

    OK heading to the store now. Do I just cover the whole 'ball' with the prep-H? How do I make an epson salt compress or do they sell them? I also have some "Vetericyn" wound and infection treatment...should I spray a bit of that on as well? This is so stressful...I dont want her to die.

    So shall I make a run for a store to get some prep-h and non-stick gauze?
