No, but when I picked him up that kind of just happened and I remembered Kathy’s thread so took pictures to post an example of what a healthy drake Penis should look like.

Oh phew....

Thanks, I never have a camera handy when mine are exposing themselves.

Before:

Our drake, Bumpy, has a prolapsed phallus and I’m hoping someone has a suggestion for how to help him. There are no vets in our area that will treat a duck, so any approach will be undertaken by us at home. I am willing to do whatever I need to, but keep it as humane as possible. Thanks!

After

All finished. It was nerve-wracking, but I managed to get a clean cut. My only concern is that he withdrew the remaining portion all the way inside before I was able to completely stop the bleeding and apply antibiotic ointment. I covered the area around his vent with ointment instead, so hopefully that does the trick for now. He seems content and is drinking plenty of water, but hasn’t eaten yet.

Before

Here's a photo. Definitely looks a little irritated but has stayed clean and moist. I can't find any damage or evidence of dead tissue that would explain why it's not going back in. That said, I don't routinely inspect duck penises to know what falls into the realm of "normal".

After coming soon.

Hi everyone,

At the moment I do have a duck with a prolapsed penis.
He seems like he's just his happy self but of course I'm a little concerned..

It was first noticed on Sunday.
I've washed him a few times in water with a little salt. (and after in clean water) and massaged the area very carefully. The rest of the time he stays outside with his girls.
I also put sterile (I don't know how much difference that makes in a duck ) K-Y Jelly on his penis and opening but it stays outside.

If it's not needed, I like to try to save his penis for now.
Any advice?
This Picture is how it looks now:

Great picture! His penis looks pretty healthy. Can you push it back into place?

It tried several times but didn't succeed.
Maybe because I'm afraid of hurting him but it feels like it's not possible.

Is a vet an option?
