Herniated Chick needs help! (graphic photo)

[MelissaRose]

SO sorry its always so sad when a chick you've been taking care of
I know this is really late (the last post was November)

My bandages were too wide, so I had to cut it in half...lengthways.

The idea is to use the bandaid to keep the hernia in while keeping everything else out. But the chick still has to poop. So I had the band aid ready in an X for when I had replaced the hernia. If you place it like I have in the pics...the bandaid securely covers the hernia and hole AND it still leaves the anus open so the chick can poop.

I used an tiny bit of Polysporin antibiotic cream, mine doesn't have the lidocane with it. I placed the tiny pea sized amount on the bandaid X so it was to use with one hand.

I'm going to post pics now.

Awesome advice. Just fixed my chick's hernia with the aid of this thread and post. Here hoping it makes it through the night. Thanks

Are these intestines? I’m just trying to figure out if I should euthanize this little guy ASAP or if it has a chance. I don’t think I can put it back in. Thanks in advance.

Can you get a clearer picture?

This is the best I can do. But it looks bad to me.

I can't tell if that is intestines or hatch debris.

Maybe I’ll try a video?
