We just returned from the vet. The report was very good. Angus has good musculature, is not overweight and has "a great looking phallus." With the exception of the history of the prolapsed penis, all else was excellent!

Once again, huge props to all of you and to our amazing vet (who now has files on five of our ducks, I think). We're always so impressed by the research she has done, the questions she asks and the time she takes during the exam. We are very lucky to have her just two minutes away.

Also, Angus deserves huge props! He was amazing. Pretty chill even through some fairly in-depth poking and prodding. Everyone was taken with what a handsome boy he is.

Thinking: We've had a pretty cold and snowy winter, so there has not been much foraging and precious little swimming as of late. The night before Angus first presented with a prolapsed penis, we got a huge swing in temperature and then loads of rain. They all spent more time than they have in a while swimming and playing that evening. The next morning was when we first observed the prolapsed penis. Could it have been the excitement and the expectation of pool sex (you know ducks) and lots of drinking that kicked everything into high gear and caused the initial problem? Perhaps.

Next Steps: While we could return him to the flock right now, as the penis retracted on its own, the vet thinks we should still keep Angus separated from the girls and inside the house for a period of time. Other than that, we'll just observe and make sure everything else is normal. His girls are missing him, and he is missing them, but he's doing alright. Maybe he'll appreciate that this 60F thing actually isn't so bad as we plummet back to the single digits tonight!

If you don't mind, I would like to use your pictures in my thread. They show clearly how to set up a nice hospital cage/pen.

Of course. Anything we can give back to the community that has helped us so much.

There is a water bucket behind the crate. The black bowl has his food. The crate is filled with clean straw, and there are puppy pads down over the plastic sheeting.

That’s a great update! Angus is one handsome drake and of course he had to be on his best behavior he had to impress all the ladies! But I am a little worried about the drinking. AA for ducks isn’t that wide spread yet and quitting cold turkey might be really hard on the flock.
