Where do you want me to trim? Just the feather over the wound?
I am pretty nervous cutting anything at this point. I dont want to hurt her more being I have no clue what I am doing. (kids sent 2 more pics...this is as good as we will get it until I get home :) )
We did the individually wrapping for the first few days and it was a struggle to get wing right/ tight enough. So we do the full body and that seems to hold everything much better/in place. She also seems to like the full body better. This wrapping business is not easy 🙃
No I did not amputate it. I didn't want to do anything until I saw how it was healing. She can move the shoulder joint. No bones are sticking out. She is full of spunk, eating, drinking and doing what ducks do 😄.
Sorry for the graphic picture. This was taken when it happened and I posted on this forum to get advice. She can move the shoulder area but not the wing. No bones are sticking out.
It actually looks fantastic to what it did! She is doing great and acting 100% normal. I did have b4 pics posted right when it happened and people helped me through what to do (thank goodness). We are 6 days out from the attack. I just do not think she will ever get movement in that wing again...
Our baby duck was attacked by a coon and is doing fantastic. Only issue we are having is she will trip over her broken wing once in awhile when we take it out of the wrap to give her a rest. My guess is the wing will always hang. Will she be able to do ok with this?
