I have a 1week old duck. I hatched it and 5 others. This one had a rough start and after day 3 showed promising signs of life. Well, it still had a bit of the egg still attached. I've been working on it daily, but today it kinda popped off and what looks like nasty yellow infection came to follow. I should add that it is half the size of the others and they are all from the same duck mates. I slowly pushed out as much as I could. Gave the cutie a break and I'm now trying to address this wound. What antibiotics could I give it and how much. Also, I'll be using betadine to flush wound, what else should I apply to the wound?
 
Do you have any pics? It sounds like the yolk wasn't fully absorbed. Is the wound on the abdomen where they would be attached to the yolk sac?
