Sick Duckling? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

[BayBay Peepers]

I raised my chicks and ducklings together, but I had to keep a close eye on the mess. If the feed store doesn't have any maybe check the Florida thread or even craigslist and see if someone has any available.

Good luck!

How is the prolapse today. I can stress enough how important it is to keep it moist and keep trying to get it back inside. Well right now he doesn't need a chick or duckling in with him they could puncture that tissues then he'd be in serious trouble. Can a vet be thought about?

It's better more white and I've been keeping it moist. It still won't go back in though. I'm not sure a vet can help because th wonky vets we have here, are dog and cat ones I can try to look though.

And yes I think a companion will have to wait:3

I was thinking if a vet could get it back in maybe a stitch or 2 would keep it in. They do this with ducks and other poultry when they get a prolapse with laying eggs, if a vet can be used. Does it look like it's shrinking? which would mean it's gradually going back inside?
