Thank you for this info
This actually happened in the spring and she did survive.
I sprayed her with blue coat twice and kept her well isolated with another wounded duck.
She actually started laying and had ducklings.
We were very surprised but so happy our only two females were both attacked...
I have 2 female ducks both that have been attacked by hawks but are ok and seem to be thriving.
One layed the next day even though I didn't think she could possibly survive.
That was two weeks ago.
The other duck last week was attacked and we managed to capture her and now has layed 4 eggs this...
Thank you so much
We are on a island that has limited means to treatment but I am now on my way to see if I can some of what has been mentioned.
We have her in a chicken coop right with water and food and hoping she feels safe until we get back.
The wound is big 2 inches or more but not bleeding...
I picked her up but once she stopped being traumatized she wanted down now in the bushes near our house.
The wound is large no real blood almost as if the hawk pecked skin away and exposed underneath.
I figure she will die but trying to save her only one female left.
They free range and she is...
