Animal attacked my Rouen...not sure what to do.

[Patrick McKee]

It appears she is trying to clean the wing...hibicleanse and all, not sure if I should wrap her or what...

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'd ask your friend if he thinks this could be a problem and if you should wrap. You have her where flies can't get to her wounds?

That’s a good point I didn’t think of!

That is a link to the bath where she and I (spraying here with hose on low which they like...) cleaned out most of the overage cleanse and she flapped and actually help herself and me by agitating the hibicleanse. My buddy says a little soap might make her poopy, but she is eating (tomatoes only) and drinking a little and so long as beak and feet are cool, we are good to go. Her temp could rise fast due to duck metabolism as far as I know.

She is now mostly wing twitching/occasional flapping and preening.

On edit: yes she is on porch, I see s fly, I know my job.

Yep, Baytril is what I need, not going to happen...

Hibicleanse and prayer now.

Know anyone with Cipro? Know any pigeon fanciers?

 

[Patrick McKee]

Hmm...no, but I know someone who might have a line on quail egg farmer...thanks for jostling the memory...

I ordered the cipro and it is in Dallas a shirt hop from me, but I missed the 4pm ship cut off...

On edit: so I am playing classical music and misting her with a 25% braggs apple cider to offset the hibicleanse...lol

My brother used to live in Texas and he said they didn’t have very many flies. Lucky Ducks. Pun intended.

 

[Patrick McKee]

But we got horse flies...

 

[Patrick McKee]

She has been twitching a lot. No sleep since attack, probably still shock...drinks a little every so often not much, few sips.

Anyone seen this twitch before...should have searched probably common in shocked birds.

That looks like a post-bathing twitch to me? How long since her bath?
