so I have a two month old Muscovy duckling . she was swimming with her other 11 brother and sisters and I saw her get attacked by another male duck . it could’ve been an Egyptian goose or a way older Muscovy duck. I rescued her and currently she has like muggy brownish looking water coming from her nose and her mouth . her stool is very very thin like water. I don’t know what else looks like to have internal injuries on a duck but I’m scared about that. also it seems as though the bird that hurt her, broke or dislocated her leg and she cannot move it at all. she also has cuts all over her and on her wings end it seems as though they pulled her feathers out in some places. she doesn’t seem in pain but she isn’t making as loud as a chirping sound as all my other ducklings. right now she is sitting with a bowl of water and some chicken scratch, for ducklings, next to her but she is not touching it. her eyes are also wide open which I’m guessing it’s because she’s traumatized. she’s also laying on a heating pad covered with a towel. I don’t know what to do someone help . I have her old pen outside which her brothers and sisters go in to to feed themselves . but I can easily lock it up and just have her in it. i’m really scared about the liquid that’s coming from her nostrils and her mouth and her very hurt leg, down below I inserted pictures . I only could take one picture of her cuts and I couldn’t take any of her leg but you can see what color the liquid is coming out of her mouth.
