VENT STICKING OUT OF DUCKLING??????

[Amiga]

My question, too, is the little pooping?

Does he or she have access to water 24/7?

I will try what Miss Lydia said thanks, and yes he still can poop and has full access to water

Let us know how it goes. what does he eat in way of feed?

 

[Julianna123]

He eats unmediated chick feed. I've stopped feeding that because the morning I found out about the prolapsed vent, I had JUST started feeding him that. I've started feeding him oats and eggs for the time being. I wasn't able to get his vent back in but it's less red in color. Still acting normal (the duckling)

Most of us have to use un medicated chick feed it's all we can get. I posted on your other thread how important it is to keep that tissue moist with some kind of salve, like Preparation H which is suppose to help swelling go down, or Vaseline or KY jelly, you don't want that tissue to dry out.

Yes I've been using Vaseline but mainly witch hazel. No more redness, but it's still sticking out. Thanks

Update: today it seems kinda hard and I bit darker in color I put Vaseline and witch hazel on it:/

If you can I'd take him to a vet. That really needs to be back inside before it dries out completely.

Yeah, that's not a good sign. :/ Is a vet possible at all? How is he acting otherwise? Still eating/drinking/pooping?
