My older duck is not acting right. Her vent is popped out and covered in poop and her bum looks saggier than normal. She’s distancing herself from the flock as well. She is also messing with her wing like it isn’t sitting comfortably. I have tried to fix her vent with honey and poking it back in. Let me know if you have any ideas or questions.
 
Could use the medical guaze to gently wrap her wing so it stays up? The vent sounds like a prolapse. Did she lay recently or is she maybe eggbound with a big egg?

we kept her inside when we first noticed it and she laid a normal looking egg. I could probably use medical gauze but I doubt it’ll stay on long.
 
How is her stools? Normal? Did you run your fingers along her wing? If it's broken it will need vet care or a backyard straighten and sling to immobilize it or even a sprain.
 
You would need to use something like preparation h to help with the prolapse. She will need to be kept isolated, warm, and clean until healed. She needs to be kept away from any drakes if you have any as well. She's probably feeling unwell and the wing would be droopy due to that.
However, it could be something else. Do you have any pics?
