Cover the membrane in a thin layer of plain old original Neosporin to keep it moist if you have it (some people also use coconut oil) and let the egg be. If you are assisting a hatch as soon as you see veins or blood you stop. It means the duckling still needs more time for the veins to recede and to finish absorbing the yolk. Wait for the veins to dry up before you assist any further.

okay thank you, how long does it usually take for the veins to absorb?

That depends on the individual duckling some only a couple of hours some may take longer. The veins will disappear when they have fully receded.
