My 3.5 month old Indian runner drake seems to have a prolapsed phallus. I noticed it yesterday morning from far away but thought it was just a piece of poop stuck to his feathers tbh then last night I caught him and discovered what it actually was when I went to go close them in the coop and picked him up to see what it is.
So at 9pm I was sitting in the shower and letting him swim in a big container with lukewarm water and epsom salt in it. Then I put on a glove got some coconut oil (most safe seeming lubricant I had available) and tried pushing it in but with no luck (I think I just didn’t do it properly) so I applied a bit of sugar dissolved in a tiny bit of water and applied that then gave him approximately 10mg of aspirin to maybe help with inflammation which I thought there was due to struggling to get it back in then put him in the pet crate and went to sleep.
This morning I let him swim in a cold epsom salt bath again after learning cold water is probably better and tried again. This time I managed to get it fully back into the vent(?) and then he climbed back into the water on his own and pooped and then it came back out again. 2 more attempts later and no luck, eventually it just falls out again before I even have it fully back. I contacted the vet a few minutes ago and they said they’re unable to help so I am coming to you to see what else I can do or try?
I should probably apply an antibacterial ointment but I don’t have any poultry safe ones at the moment (unless you wanna count the eye one) so suggestions would be great
