Hello, this may be beyond my help but, my duck Clara got attacked by an animal the night of last.
The tendon connecting the wing to the body has been severed. I haven't noticed any broken bones either. The skin below the wing (wing pit?) has been ripped off so now there is exposed muscle.
I would have sewn the skin up but it is entirely ripped off. I washed it with iodine water and applied Neosporine.
I then put gauze over the wound, taped it on with medical tape, and secured it in vet wrap.
she seems rather shocked at the moment, and her wing is hanging to the ground.
Is there anything i should do? Is helping this duck beyond my capabilities?
Thank you for your answers!!!
