In the Brooder
Our duck was attacked by the turkey. We caught right away. We are bringing her inside to rest. Will she make it? I am in shock. We love her. Do we keep her drake with her? He was protecting her...

OUCH, I would keep her separated from him for a while, if he tries to mate with her, he's just going to go right for that head. Try to clean it up the best you can and put some antibotic ointment on it. I'm a big fan of Blue Kote but Iodine works good too. Some have tried neosprin as long as it doesn't have pain reliever in it.
She made it through the night and I separated them today so he could bathe and she could rest. I dressed her wound,gave her some electrolytes and made sure she was warm. Her eyes are weepy...is that ok? She laid her head in my hand and I am worried she might not make it. But when I put her back on the cage she seemed to perk up. Walking fine. I feel so badly for her.
