Should I stop re- applying it? And if i do, will she eventually fluff out?

i think i posted earlier that if it is needed it should only be applied every 8 to 12 hours. he would only need the tiniest amount.

the chick has the equivalent of you putting vaseline in your hair, it will very slowly rub off. i defer to others who are more experienced in this stuff, but she/he may need a soap and water bath. - please wait for others though

Below is a Zoo Aviary Procedure for assisted hatch Umbilicus care
typically they dont hatch like this unless assisted in some way.


External Umbilicus
Occasionally a chick hatches with an external umbilicus. This umbilicus can
vary in length from 1 to 3 centimetres, and appears very ‘meaty’. Usually the
umbilicus will become black in colour, shrivel up and drop off. Generously
cover the umbilicus with Betadine cream, to protect the area from infection,
and leave it. Close monitoring will be required. Any sign of redness or infection
will require the chick to been seen by a veterinarian, and likely a course of
antibiotics will be prescribed. It may be possible to internalise the
umbilicus before the ring of abdominal muscle will close the navel area. There
is only a small window of time to complete this post hatch, (~20 minutes).
Gentle pressures with a cotton bud soaked in Betadine cream,
and gently poke the umbilicus back into place. Make sure the umbilicus
is clean before commencing the procedure.

Chicks that have had an assisted hatch or external yolk will need careful
monitoring for the next three weeks in case of additional yolk sac problems, or
umbilical/naval stalk infections.

So I should have just shoved it back into her body......?? And this Betadine, does that work the same as polysporin? Does Bella's bum look infected?

Merbromin (marketed as Mercurochrome, Merbromine, Sodium mercurescein, Asceptichrome, Supercrome, Brocasept and Cinfacromin) is a topical antiseptic used for minor cuts and scrapes. Merbromin is an organomercuric disodium salt compound and a fluorescein. It is readily available in most countries, but because of its mercury content, it is no longer sold in the United States, Germany, or France.[citation needed]
It was known throughout the Southern United States as "monkey blood."

Thats why you cant find it here. good stuff though

It didn't say not Canada.

3D if she is greasy use a dry papertowel and rub her gently, hopefully the papertowel will take some oils off, but only soft type papertowels or use fluffy toilet paper or tissues, but keep her warm, she needs to fluff up so she can stay warm.... be careful with her like this a chill can kill her!

betadine is an antiseptic and they refer to a cream. your polysporin is an antibiotic that is an ointment. shoving it back in prolly (in your words lol) would have killed her

I know! I tried wiping her down with a warm, wet facecloth, but when I put her back in the incubator she looked cold all huddled up to the wires, so I held her under my house coat on the couch for an hour or so. Then her head got all fluffy and nothing else! XD She has a dry face cloth in the incubator with her. I hope she gets fluffy soon!
