Duck emergency!

[Trimurtisan]

Alright I hope these pictures. Help. BTW, the bone below the vent that I was feeling earlier can also be felt on my other ducks, so I don't think it's actually a concern, I think I'm probably just paranoid considering I've never really dealt with this before.

I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of taking a screen shot of these pics so they can be viewed on the thread.

@casportpony @Miss Lydia @WannaBeHillBilly What should I do about this? Will she be alright overnight? It will get dark soon... She's acting fine and hanging out with the other ones now, but should I do anything about that red thing? Please help, Thanks!

Can you bring her inside, clean it up and try to re-insert it?

I can't bring her inside, but there's still enough daylight to do it outside. How do I reinsert it? What do I do if it pops out again?

Do you have any betadine or chlorhexidine?

I don't think so. I have vaseline though, I read that can be used to help get it back in...?

No, you don't want to use that because it can harbor bacteria. Try cleaning it off with warm soapy water, rinse well, then gently re-insert with your finger.

Ok I'll try it now.

So I followed those steps, and it went back in on the first try. Then a minute later, I picked her up and it was out again. I repeated and picked her up a minute later and it was still in. Is that all I can do now? Is there anything else?
