Does the wound look fresh? Does it look infected?

Do you have any neosporin? Have you cleaned the wound?

Sue, it is concrete (inside my garage).  One half has a sleeping bag spread out and then is covered in shavings.  The other half where water is kept, I scrape/hose out, but usually within a few hours they have spread the shavings back down the run to the bowl.  I took these pics this afternoon right after I cleaned their pens.

My menagerie includes 5 horses, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 33 geese (dewlap toulouse & african) and 11 ducks (muscovy, ancona, cayuga & silver appleyard).

I do have neosporin.  This is my first duck injury other than just  hen with a little limp.  I think my other drake got him or possibly a predator because there was also a baby in shell killed.
