I am so sorry that you had to experience a repeat of that brutal incident.
You were SO incredibly brave and strong that initial night.
We all were giving you instructions and cheering you on and you followed them every step of the way. You are very Brave and heroic and you gave 110% to your lil...
Sammi, I'm glad you noted A Lot of conflicting advise.
When you review the people that are providing her with Expertise in wound management such as Castropony and Agyzous, most are providing personal input. Once the Experienced arrived on the scene, you can note most of us that were initially...
Coconut Oil has NO antibacterial properties in it. I will advise NOT to use it unless you have NOTHING else and get to the store again to get the correct item. Sorry you were told differently. It won't hurt but, it won't do anything to help kill the bacteria in the wound. Dogs have a lot of...
Not that one because you CAN NOT use any pain medication.
Humans can have pain relief because it's therapeutic for us. But, water fowl, chickens ect., can not because it's toxic to them.
These are the pictures of what @casportpony sent you to get.
The 1st one is at general Dollar n the second one is from Walmart.
Hope this helps!
Once you get it squirt it inside his neck area.
YOUR DOING GREAT!
I agree. YOU ARE AMAZING!!
Keep him dry and keep him inside until your instructed otherwise.
You don't want flys or nats to touch his Boo Boo.
If you need specific questions answered, please do this to get continued medical care advice from casportpony, overo mara, azygous.
They are the ones...
I just thought of something!
Do you think you could order the things from Walmart and have them delivered for a tip?
I have never done that but, my neighbor does all the time.
Just a thought....
@Karlam231,
YOU my dear, are one STRONG young lady!
You have proven perseverance beyond expectation.
You have been having to multi task and stay focused on instructions from @casportpony, @azygous.
While all us other peeps are cheering you on.
Clover is one very Lucky Duck.
Perhaps he might...
Good night my dear.
You did a good job and learned a lot.
If your lil Clover doesn't make it, you must remember that You did Everything you could. The wound looks pretty bad but, amazingly sometimes they make it. Hopefully you will be lucky.
If not, you asked for help and everyone came...
The Veteryin
The Vetericyn is an antimicrobial.
It is good but costs more than the equally good Chlorihexdine.
We don't even use H2O2 hydrogen peroxide on our hospital wound patients anymore. It actually kills the good bacteria needed for tissue granulation therefore, it inhibits tissue...
Hydrogen peroxide will make it bleed again.
If you can go to Tractor Supply, get some Vetericyn, something to be able to squirt some chlorihexdine into her neck wound. Non stick bandage, antibiotic oint without Lidocaine. And a self stick ace wrap found in the horse section.
Casportpony will...
NO, DO NOT USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE.
Yes, its neck is bad.
Since you don't have any ointment like triple antibiotic or neosporin right?
Hold her and keep her quite and in a warm place. If she will drink, give her some water with a lil bit of sugar in it.
I know your very sad but I agree with...
Thats ok. I know Its late. You are being very strong for your duck.
Can you ask someone in your house to either hold your duck and you cut off the feathers or reverse.
We need to see the actual wound base.
