Alright @Wickedchicken6 I got it all in!!!!:celebrate
HOLY HEEL IT WAS FRUSTRATING!! Every time I got a little in... "cheep! cheep! cheep! cheep!" and it all came back out!:mad: I tried using my finger to prevent it backing out again, but it didn't work as well as I had hoped! :rant After a loooong time I did eventually get it all in without puncturing anything -I used an ear spoon. tweezers were too pointy, qtip was too adhesive. After I got it all in and plugged it with my finger the chick decided to poop. and poop and poop and poop! :sickLots of toilet paper was used. I attempted my bandaid fiasco next. Bactrin on, precut, aaaaaaand it wouldn't stick to a wet chick.:he Tried vet wrap. The stupid stuff wouldn't stick to itself! wt?! :barnie I eventually swaddled that poor chick in toilet paper, over the bandaid, and stuffed him back in the cup. He was very cold at this point and acting a little lethargic. So back in the incubator he went. I can hear him being loud again as I finish writing this though, so it must not have been THAT bad! :smack

Anyway thank you so much wicked and benny for giving me advice. I really appreciate it!!!!!!:love:bow:highfive:

I hope the chick does well. :fl Sounds like a strong chick. I guess you'll see what morning brings.

Thanks so much for explaining what you did venymae.:highfive:

I think the most frustrating part was trying to do everything by myself, with only one hand (for the bandages, the other was plugging the navel). :gig I did wake my spouse up at one point, only to have him get sick, smell up the bathroom, and puke into my best kitchen pot. I sent him back to bed!:idunno

Oh no! Is he sick? Or did the chick do that to him?

He's usually not one to get queasy so I am guessing sick. :( Poor dear, he's always such a good sport at trying to help me. If I had to do this over, I would have ran down to walmart and bought super glue! I'm much more adept with it! (Glued my kiddos head together just last week!)

Ahhh yes, that's what my sister uses.

I left it open for any drainage that might occur. There was some slight drainage.
In my cases the hole healed in a day or two...surprisingly fast.

I wonder if it could have been partially closed with glue, a section too small to allow the innards to herniate again, but still open slightly to allow drainage....hmm...
