HELP! Prolapsed vent!!!

[rosemary10]

So many of you know that my ducks just started to lay, which is exciting but sadly one of them has a prolapsed vent... is there anyway to treat this?

Can you post a pic or 2 sometimes if not too bad you can work it back in by using Prep h and gently pushing always a chance only a vet can do something like this because it may need a stitch or 2 to keep it inside.

Actually she laid an egg this morning which seemed kinda like a struggle so I helped her out and it all went back in by itself so...

That is awesome just keep a close eye on that end sometimes they come back out and you don't want it to dry out.

Bad news, it popped back out and some of the tissue is dead so I cut it off and I think it's already infected :/ idk what to do, I cleaned it out and put some antibiotic creme on it but i don't know

Once they prolapse they generally continue too...Vet is needed to access her..

Def try and get her to a vet they can get it back in and put a few stitches in to hold it in place till it heals. Be careful cutting not sure but it seems that would cause quite a bit of bleeding. Get her in a nice warm tub of water let her soak and clean up then put the antibiotic cream on her . Letting her soak in warm water may give you a chance to get it back in. Then place her in a darkened room in something where she will be quiet and possibly not try to lay another egg till you can get to a vet if that is feasible
