One for Kate and Vember -one of my boys has a prolapse, darn!!!! Am going to try and pop in back in with some Prep H, and antibiotic cream, but think I might have to amputate as it looks a bit dry although not infected.

Has anyone experience of this??? Poor lad I think has been overdoing it....

All the best of british to him.

No personal experience I'm afraid


Storey's guide says :

The organ should be washed with warm clean water & then disinfected & treated with medicated ointment. You can try pushing the penis back into place, but - as often as not - it will pop back out in a short time.
Apply ointment daily until he is fully recovered, which may require several weeks or longer.
Drakes should not be allowed to mate for at least 3 months.
Often the end of the penis dries up & falls off. Because the semen exits from the base & travels down a groove that spirals around the penis, a drake can still be fertile even if a proportion of the penis sloughs off (although fertility usually does not return for 6 - 12 months).

Fingers crossed for him

thanks guys!  I have managed to get it all back in (about 3 inches of it)-it was constricted around the opening which may be why the little fella couldn't retract. I have cleaned and popped on some cream as well as prep H to help any inflammation. Given him some anti biotics and will hope for the best. I really dont like the idea of amputating it, poor guy....

You're a very understanding woman Foxy. On behalf of mankind, well done for trying.

[Vember]

Woooo Fantastic news Foxy He couldn't be in better hands

Sounds like part of him thought he'd finished before the other bit was ready 

And yes they are quite long, Monty goose gave me a flash of his today

I dont think he was very happy Rob....on his back with his little webbed feet flapping, I think he thought I was murdering him! It did feel a bit surreal though....trying to calm a duck whilst gently..... :blink: :blink:

I'm not going to add further comment. I might get thrown off the site 

But well done for being so caring. 

He'll look back and laugh about it one day

When I was 14 my horse got an infection on his sheath. The only thing to do was tickle him whilst wearing rubber gloves and then 'grab it' and put the cream on.  I have never had to do anything so embarrassing again since!

Thank god he has you as mum foxy to look after him, god knows what I would do if it happened to Mr Darcy apart from put him in the car and head down to your place.

at least I have read about it now so I wont panic Much.

[Kate and her Ducks]

Good luck!

Nothing to add over Vember and I would have just been quoting Storey's 

[Foxy]

Well I have gone and checked, and its popped out again!! Oh well....it might have to come off..

Wighty, OMG!!!! I know some boys need a bit extra TLC...

[too many girls]

streuth, i hope it doesn't happen to any of mine, can't imagine what the vet would think, ring for appointment, please can you amputate Simon's willy.....................................................

[Vember]

Well I have gone and checked, and its popped out again!! Oh well....it might have to come off..

  Oh Foxy, I was so hopeful when you got it back in

Maybe it was a bit inflammed, will keep it clean and try again tommorrow. At least with antibiotics I can reduce the risk of infection. It is quite a bad prolapse, but if it needs to come of to save him thats what I will do. Will keep you posted, must admit this is all very new to me! :blink:
