My duck is almost 2 months old and our rooster got into the baby section of the coop and beat up the duck. Some of her feathers are off her back and she's bruised, she also looks like she has a shiner but can see okay. However, she can't put weight on one leg. She pulls herself up with her bill to get around. I have her a warm bath today but didn't know if I could put Epson salt in the water like I do with injured chickens. She did well in the water since her weight was off her foot so my worry is that it may be her hip. I don't want her to get cold either since she is wet, so can I keep the heat lamp over her cage? Anything for pain? I've got her in her own cage in my "medical" ward of the barn. Also have a mended chicken in another cage keeping her company. Thanks for all the help in advance.
