I bet it's quite novel for him too !! 

Good luck. Tell him it won't make him less of a drake. 
Just do whatever you have to for him.

Unfortunately he doesn't look very happy this morning, poor lad. So I have to say not very optimistic for him.

[Vember]

Oh NO   Foxy

Is he on his own? Maybe he's a bit down 'cause he's missing his friends
I know clutching at straws

What's the plan? Is it still out?

[Foxy]

Yes its still out, I haven't needed to separate him yet, there isn't any pecking or bullying. It would too stressful at this point. I will have another look later and give some metcam, plus vaseline,but I just have a bad feeling. If he was perky I wouldn't be so worried. Will probably take to my friend for a second opinion and we may take it off, but too much  prolapsed and thats what worries me, I dont want him to suffer and thats why I feel sad for him.

[Vember]

 

I hate those kind of feelings

Will be thinking of you both today x

[Big Jen]

Good Luck Foxy. I hope you can sort it out.
I have my fingers crossed

Oh Foxy if anyone can save his bits it's you.  Did make me giggle in a very supportive way of cause!!!!

I hope he's ok.....well thats something new i've learned today.  My girls send him loads of hugs.

[too many girls]

good luck Foxy, hope you get him sorted.

[Kate and her Ducks]

Really hope he's OK.
I have heard that prolapse can be pretty bad for the drakes as well as ducks.

[Foxy]

thanks kate!

Have just brought poor Zeus back, we were really the blind leading the blind! However, he had a light aneasthetic and unfortunately most of his...... was removed, stitched back in and pain relief and antibiotics given.
At the moment he is comfortable, poor little fella - but really dont know how he will be, one thing for certain if we hadn't  had done anything he would have died.

[Vember]

How is Zeus this morning Foxy?

Well done on doing what you did, I couldn't have done it, wouldn't know where to start 


Sarah

[Hawkins]

Morning Foxy, how is Zeus

[Foxy]

Well Zeus has had a nice bath, walk around and I decided to pop him back with the others, he does look much better and far more comfortable. He had a little breakfast but wasn't that hungry though, but he does look much better,dabbling around, quite incredible really.
If we weren't all so worried it would have been quite funny really, three of us ( and my hubby) looking at Zeus upside down and wondering what to do with his willy!
Hubby was like.....do you have to take quite so much off???  
Afterwards he stood straight up and nestled his bill in my shoulder,(the duck that is) everyone got a little emotional at that point....

[Hawkins]

Thats fantastic news Foxy, hopefully he is on the mend now and just needs a bit of rest.

Well done you for looking after him so well.

[poultrygeist]

Well done Foxy. You're a good mum and did what needed doing to save him. He must be very grateful.

Wish him a speedy recovery and I'm sure it won't slow him down any
