Somebody please help I don't know what to do. I left the workshop open by accident while I grabbed some tools and ran to the back of the field to work on the koi pond when i heard a commotion. One of the ducks was screaming and had something hanging off her face when I realized she had a heavy duty mouse trap stuck on her bill. I caught her and got it off but her bill is snapped in half. its still attached at the two edges but other than that its not doing well. its bleeding profusely and I dont know what to do. please please help. I'll try to upload photos in a moment. we reset the bill so its lined up again and I wasnt sure what else i could even do so I let her go back with the other ducks but they started pecking at it so i have her seperated in a large bin with fresh water. she tried to jump out so i put a lid on it so she wouldnt further hurt herself. I dont know if shes able to drink but i can tell she keeps swallowing the blood thats coming out. usually the ducks wouldnt even be able to get into the shop but i left it open and now we're in this situation. Sorry for spelling and grammar issues im typing very fast im worried she'll die.

This is frankies Bill rn. I can’t get a good photo but she’s already so stressed out I don’t want to rinse it off to show you unless I have to. She’s usually a very sweet duck but she was hissing at me. The poor girl is stressed out of her mind - especially being in pain and isolated.
