Hulk is doing well, he has healed his neck wounds pretty well, and his beak isnt going to make it, part of it anyway. He is now back outside with the other younger ducks and moved into that flock pretty seamlessly.
Hulk is still being treated with antibiotics on his beak/mouth a few times a...
thank you for your words, they mean alot.
I honestly didnt/havent helped to heal him for me. My husband and I am country/farm folk so while it would have been unpleasant I would have 'taken care of him' and culled him if needed. however he really has been a fighter. He put himself away after...
give him a good look over, he really wont like being handled but look for strange looking spots or places that feel hot. Ducks are really stream lined so anything that looks lumpy or what ever could be injuries. Neither of you will like doing this. try not to get flogged or scratched.
These pics are from June 5. When I realized i should keep track in order to post follow ups.
Hulk did no duck things up to this point. Other than small quacks and walking and drinking. he had no interest in food and would become lively when the cat approached in order to scare her away...

One of the areas where the skin was torn off. This is the area is mostly missing feathers but the dark part toward the top is missing skin...
I used peroxide and warm water to clean him. I used scissors to cut back feathers as best I could. I flushed his nose and neck wounds with basic nasal spray since I had that on hand at 9:45 pm and sleeping kids so I couldn't go get stuff I actually needed. I used the kind that is straight saline...
This is a post on Hulk and his wounds and recovery from a Raccoon (of Doom) Attack. This will have some pretty gross pictures and hopefully help out some other people who experience the same thing.
I didn't get pictures of the wounds before i treated Hulk so I don't have a base line to...
I will not be much help. Maybe a crop thing or a nerve thing. Does he move his head around? Or his neck?
I had a baby Cayuga eat chips like that bedding, he choked and we lost him at about that size.
Your pictures are freaking adorable, (that sweet ducky smile) I wish mine were that nice.
Last Thursday we had a raccoon attack and lost our Ginger, her mate Hulk was severely injured. He has big places on his neck where the skin was removed and defeathered. His beak was chewed, we weren't sure he would make it. However after some long searching online mainly via this forum he pulled...
