I have bandaids! And sterile gauze and vetwrap

Yes....a bandaid. Just hold on....do you have bandaids?

 

[Wickedchicken6]

Ok....just wait until I explain....

 

[venymae]

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.

You can do it

The band aid in an X configuration. Perhaps your band aids are the correct size.

Place it so it's over the umbilical hole, but so the vent is free.

This is how it should look from the top. And that's it.
