URGENT HELP NEEDED: YOLK NOT ABSORBED

[waitwhoslucas]

hello!! i need urgent advice and help on what i should do? this baby duck hatched with his yolk sac not fully absorbed and i’ve been looking at articles and seeing what to do. when it was leaving the egg, i’ve noticed the belly of the duck being red and seeing blood clots around the navel of the duck. i placed the duck in a cup and cleaned the remaining blood and added bactrin so hopefully that works. i also see some sort of thing hanging in the middle of the yolk? maybe it was remains of the umbilical cold? what would i do?? has this happened to anyone before?? will my duck survive?

Can you place the duckling in something a little bigger and place the duckling feet down in it?

How about something that's about 4-6 inches wide?
Right now it looks like the duckling is on its back. Flip it over.

I use Tupperware containers, but a soup bowl could work.

If it doesn't rupture, get infected, and it gets absorbed, yes. Let me see if I can find some pictures of one of mine.

thank you! and do you think it maybe has a hernia? it says that a hernia is like a bit of tissue that’s just laying on top of the navel, or in this case, the yolk sac. i’ll post a foto of what the duck looks like now.
