Yolk sack is out of his body can it be removed? I have had less severe cases and just tucked them back in and covered it with a bandaid but this is really bad! Help suggestions please!

I wrapped him in tp so he wont move and put him in an isolated brooder he is resting peacefully right now but I have to do something immediately!

You can make him a diaper out of plastic wrap.... To keep him from stepping on it and tearing it until it absorbs. Perhaps put some bedadine on it to discourage infection.

It has to be kept moist or the tissues will start to die. You're sure it's yolk and not intestine? If it's a large area, the baby most likely not make it.

I read something that said you can cut it so I did and I made him a diaper out of bandaids, he is doing really well today its been 16+ hours since I did this. He is alert and eating I am going to the store now to get vitamins and I talked to my vet friend about antibiotics. Thank you guys for your help, everything is in gods hands now!
