What's going on with our duck's butt?!

[BlackChicken]

What is this thing on our muscovy's butt? We just noticed it this morning and it's been like that all day.

Looks like a prolapsed vent. You could try putting her into a warm bath to help her get it back in? I don't really have much experience with this myself, but I'm sure you can find more info if you search "duck prolapse" here. Good luck!

Yes, prolapses can get serious - lukewarm bath, you can lubricate it with coconut oil or KY jelly. A vet would be a good idea, too.
