Male duck prolapse

[Copper9Miko1]

I noticed my Male duck had a what I think is a prolapsed male part I have no vet to consult with but after having a chicken hen with one earlier this year that's the only thing I can think it is.... I treated hers for about a month- 6 weeks before it healed using oil, Vaseline, triple anti biotics and calcium pills. I'm assuming it's a similar thing for ducks? I currently have him isolated after a bath to clean him up so I could see a bit better I have a photo below can anyone help me on what to do to treat it?

It had like poop or puss caked on i had a similar thing with my chicken hen. When I was touching it he was reacting by lifting his legs so I think it's still there and possibly healthy just under it

Alright so after having him inside and treating this like I did with my female chicken I'm keeping it clean with him in a cat crate with supervised time outside of it. He also get bathes every other day.

Today after his bath I looked him over and gentle peeled away some of the stuff on his prolapse to see if it was in fact wounded and the body made a shell around it was created to heal and protect that. It so happens that seems to be the case I'm assuming it was a day or two old when I found it not sure what caused it but here we are. It seems to be healing and I ordered some Vetericyn to hopefully help along more.

Currently I am using a water bottle with regular old water to spray any lose debris or case off, I then go in with another healing spray I currently have which is Rooster Booster's All natural one, then I go in with triple antibiotics to cover anything the spray dosen't and then veggie oil to coat it to help keep it moist.

Duck Duck is currently happy and acting mostly like a normal duck he does have a bit of aggression 1 cause he's never been a super friendly Duck and 2 I think the stress of being away from others but that can't really be helped right now but otherwise he cleans himself, eats, drinks, and just quacks about.

Will keep updating and hopefully this helps someone else someday too wish me luck on helping Duck Duck

I do hope for the best for your duck duck! I have never dealt with a male prolapsed duck, but I have treated several females.

@Luv Ducks had a call duck Drake with prolapse and she had to do a little surgery on it eventually, maybe she has advice

When my little Call duck had a prolapse it was hanging out and the size of a round quarter. It was a ball and greenish in color and very hard. There would not have been any way to get it back in. When I researched it I saw where the infection from the prolapse could enter into the rest of the body and end up killing the duck. That made me decide to amputate the diseased part. I simply sterilized everything and took really sharp sissors and cut off the infected part. The part that was still pink and healthy retracted on its own but I still sprayed its underside with Vercetin (spelled wrong) and was able to return him to the rest of the flock. That was over 2 years ago and he is perfectly fine. I am not telling you to do this, just letting you know what worked for me. Good luck with your decision and Duck Duck. Mine can still mate and is perfectly happy. He didn't even make a noise when I did the surgery on him.

Ah! Yes I read your story on another post and while I don’t mind doing things with surgical intervention I try to do other options (if available) first and I don't think it's at that point yet but knowing it's possible and an option is always nice as I try to avoid culling when possible thank you for sharing

You are most welcome and I too would never want to have to cull one. I hope all works out well for you.
