Someone please help me soon so the short version is my duckling hatched too soon and appeared to have been absorbing the yolk it was only about a nickel size left but would not absorb for some reason I did the cup, Saran the moist paper towel and everything and I should mention it was not the bright yellow color it was like a pale skin light color okay well this morning when I got up it was the craziest thing there was a large yolk exposed coming from the original nickel-sized area and the yolk coming out of it was about twice the size so not sure where it all came from but the yolk Sac that came out is that deep yellow color okay so unfortunately the duckling cut it with it's foot and the yolk has started to drain out I have it wrapped in a clean piece of paper towel and I've been giving it water with some molasses in it but I fear that it will get an infection I'm wondering
1. Could I put vetracin spray on it or iodine?
2. Should I cut off what is there or tie it?
3. Should i give it some antibiotics I have read that that is not very effective but?
I did try to cover the original spot with antibacterial ointment but I don't know what to do now that this secondary sack has emerged and has ruptured I have scoured the internet trying to find out what I can put on it but have not found anything so I'm hoping you guys can help
Please help someone soon!!!!!!!!Thank you!!!
