Redwing Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 He may have prolapsed but that is far more common in laying hens Bring him in and put him in a box in the dark for a while to keep him unstressed then clean him up and see if it can be pushed back in gently If you do manage to get it back in apply some pressure to stop it coming out again If its swollen sugar or ointment meant for hemorroids will help shrink it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 If it is a male, it could possibly be a prolapsed reproductive organ and he really needs to be seen by a vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
