URGENT HELP NEEDED: YOLK NOT ABSORBED

[casportpony]

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.

That's a better container. It looks like yolk to me, so not a hernia.

Here it is:

that’s so amazing! and do you know how the dried blood and stained fur will leave?? maybe when it’s done drying and absorbing the yolk and feeling better, giving it a bath with his other ducks? and would the remaining yolk sac just stay on the duck forever? or will it eventually fall off?

No bathing until the navel is completely healed. Hopefully it will absorb the yolk completely. If it doesn't, it may end up with a scab that should eventually fall off.

Wait until the yolk is absorbed.
