Drake phallus prolapse (graphic pic)

[Xxxdoombunny]

I've talked with a vet and done suggested methods of treating my drake, but there is no improvement. It's not looking any worse either.

-I separated him from the flock.
-He gets clean bathes daily, also epsom salt bath
- he is doing normal duck things, eating, drinking, diving and preening.

His phallus appears very swollen and is hard. Doesn't look like the cork screw. Has a spot that appeared to be maybe a cyst or something. Has dry white skin? In it. I attempted to remove as much as possible. Here doesn't appear to be in pain, as he tolerated it.

I've used neosporin several times a day on it, preparation h, to reduce swelling, sugar/ honey wrap, and nothing. I strongly believe it is an amputate situation.

It looks a little worse than this right now.
Any advice? I can't afford a vet for this.

Great pictures! Can you dig that yellow mass of pus out? I'm am not a vet, but I think if you can get all of that pus out you might not have to amputate.

He's having bath time. I'll dry it, then spritz blu-kote again, and tuck it back inside and see how it goes. But he's happy in the bath.

Try wrapping him in a towel like a burrito that may help while your working on him.

I'm gagging at work (wow that's intense...) but kudos to you for doing that. I'm afraid surgery on.... phalluses is where I'd be drawing the line. I don't have sympathetic pains due to lacking that particular appendage... but I think I'm having phantom pains!

You might wanna try pulling it out with tweezers, the majority of it should just pop out. Once out, you will need to remove any pieces still stuck to the skin.

Wow, great job! Sutures? I am not a vet but I don't think so.

Just had a thought... Since a vet was helping you, you might wanna email the pictures and ask if you should start some antibiotics.

Good point. I reached out to check. I wonder since I've got ask that out of it, if it's ok to reinsert the phallus or not. I'll ask them that too.
