Need help! Duckling hatched with hernia. Will it make it?

I had a duckling hatch with a hernia. It's my first duckling. What can I do to help it? Will it make it?

that's unfortunate. I bet @The Moonshiner and @Eggcessive have good advice.

Thank you for the tag. I have been worried about this little one. It seems strong. It's alert and peeping. I put it in a small bowl in the incubator with a warm damp towel under it. We found this duck egg on a pond at our land. We've never raised any birds of any kind but invested in the equipment to see if this duck was alive and would hatch. It's been a rough hatch and a rough start. I am really hoping it pulls through.

I’m sorry, but I am not experienced with ducklings. Maybe @casportpony or someone else knows.
