URGENT - Please help! Duck has prolapsed vent

[Miss Lydia]

Took Minnie to my vet and he did attempt to look at her which I appreciated. He really wasnt sure what exactly had happened but he kept saying "Yeah, this isn't good....I can't fix this."

Minnie had to go to sleep. I miss her already.

Thank you all for your efforts. I wish we could have saved her.

I'm so sorry

I hope you can find your drake a freind he is going to be very lonesome.

Oh I am so so sorry. You are a great owner and Bless You for trying so hard. I really wish things had worked out differently.

Do check on Amiga's thread if and when you choose to adopt another duck. Amiga (and others!) gave me great advice when I added to my flock here. Best of luck to you.

Aw hon I'm so sorry.

I am very sorry for your loss. I lost a hen recently to prolapse and it was terrible.

 

[Amiga]

You gave her so much love, and care. That was a wonderful blessing. And you helped her passage be less painful than it otherwise might have been.

Donnie needs your help now.

Been following this post with fingers crossed. So so sad - she is at peace now, you did everything you could x

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It's been a hard couple days. We let Donnie out with the chickens to cheer him up and he just sat in front of the glass patio door looking at the duck reflection in the window. He started rubbing his head against the door and has never done that before. It was too depressing to watch. We are going to keep our eye out for an young female for him.

Thanks again for all of your support.

Also, does anyone know if a Pekin male can live with a Crested Pekin female?

 

[Amiga]

As far as I know, that works out. I think I've seen mixed flocks with crested and non crested on the forum. I am thinking of you all, quite often.

You can put pretty much any breed ducks with him. you might want to consider a smaller female, like a mallard or Welsh Harlequin. is he able to mate? if he can then nevermind, go with a same sized female. but a smaller female might be less likely to pick on him.
