Is she egg bound?

[TaylorV]

i have a 6 month out Pekin duck and I just noticed this today. I read online about ducks being egg bound and how to treat it but I would just like to make sure. Also if you have any tips on how to help her it would be greatly appreciated.

Do you feel an egg in this bulge?

Can you lift her up and get a a few more picture of this area?

I haven’t touched it

Touch it softly...see if it feels like an egg.

It’s just squishy

It looks like a small prolapse. Soak her in cool water then pat dry and if you have prep h you can put that on her and push it back inside you may have to do it several times if it doesn’t stay is a vet a option. They can put a stitch in to keep it inside till it heals. Do you know when she laid last? If you don’t have prep h ky jelly will work or coconut oil. one thing you don’t want to let happen is let it dry out.

I don’t think she’s laid yesterday or today. We could take her to the vet but not until next week
