I now have witch hazel. My updated routine is every 2-3 hours, soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Then squeeze witch hazel on her and hold the saturated cotton ball on her for 5-ish minutes. I then apply a generous amount of raw honey/vaseline mixture to the prolapse and VERY gently push it back in and hold for 5-10 minutes. Then I pack the remaining mixture into/onto her vent and put her back in the tub. It comes back out eventually, but it doesn't seem as bad as it previously was yesterday. Now that she's wearing her collar.

How tiny she looks in the tub. I am not experienced with ducks, it sounds like you are doing all the right things. Some use hydrocortisone cream on the prolapse.

She's a bitty little thing.

It has been in since 6:30 p.m.!!!! Hoping it stays that way. She's currently setup in a carrier in my tub, with food and water.

Oh my, she's SO adorable in the tub

I have not read the thread, just came in to where you tagged me on the video, so forgive me if you've already covered everything.

It does look like "poop" crusted on the tissue and it may be or it may just be "vent crust". I've encountered that with chickens and it seems that quite a few threads have photos of something similar. Not sure why it happens, perhaps it's a bit of quick scabbing, maybe tissue was damaged at some point.
Either way, you are doing the right thing, keeping the tissue moist with vaseline/honey, etc.

She's not egg bound is she? I didn't see mention of that. I'd still get extra calcium into her for retention.

You've Got THIS!

Thank you!! Not egg bound. I believe she laid her first egg 3 days ago. I don't have proof it was her, but it was in a strange place, and she's never laid before. It was also a bit oddly shaped. Thinking that may what did it. Been keeping her in the dimly lit bathroom ever since. So even though I was really counting on eggs from her, her health comes first and I hope the dark has halted laying for now.

Will check her bottom here in a bit and update!
