Prolapsed vent with clear liquid

[hannah green]

I noticed my duck had a prolapsed vent this morning so I put her in my garage with the lights off and now there seems to be a lot of clear liquid leaking from her vent. I’m not sure how to treat the prolapsed vent so what should I do for that and what is the clear liquid??

It rarely goes back in on its own. Can you post a picture? You can put the prep H on her and try to push it back inside. That’s why a pic would be good so we can see how far it’s out. You def don’t want it to dry out.

Have you put her in luke warm water to let her clean up? then while she is still in the water you can try yourself to push it gently back inside. Did she lay an egg and that's when this happened? If you have fingernails be careful not to cut her.

It may pop back out and you’ll just have to keep trying. Sometimes when this happens and they won’t stay in a vet can put a stitch or 2 in to hold it in.

A vet would be a good idea if you can, stitching may be required afterward as well as antibiotics.

I posted a couple pictures earlier. Will it happen again if I get it back in?

That’s awesome. She looks good to me put her back.

She actually prolapsed the other day and it took two days of putting the vent back in for it to stay. I think this will happen every couple of weeks and I'll just have to treat her every time

Could you post a picture of the vent area?
