Can you give us any back story? Who did this happen, what is happening, when, what age is he, how is he eating/drinking, what treatment have you done, if any? That will help the situation a lot. Other then that, rinse the wound, i'm assuming its a wound, with saline solution, another sterile solution, or warm soapy water in a spray bottle. Once it is cleaned out, apply Neosporin, or another antibacterial ointment to the wound. Do not wrap, and see him in a warm, stress free place, inside, and make sure no flies are laying eggs in the wound. Where there are fly eggs, there are maggots.
 
It only one duck i don't know why it send

He is standing and moving around a little bit i don't have money to take him to the vet
Alright, can yo answer some of my questions above? It will be a lot easier to tell what going on if you do. Good job bring him inside so far! Avery

I clean the spot and put neosporin on it and my dog got him this morning trying to play. He is about 3 months old the duck and he eating and drink like normal we have him inside until he heals

Okay, do you have Vetrcyin? Spray his back with that, and apply Neosporin to his whole back. Clip some of the feathers out of the wound, and I see you have it covered in one of the pictures, take the cover off, it is harder for the wound to heal if it is covered like that. @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @Overo Mare
 
I'm so sorry! :hugs
I would wash those wounds with water and mild soap, then apply neorsorin or antibiotic cream. Just make sure it's without pain relief.
Hopefully some of the experts chime in soon. For now I would clean those wounds. Electrolytes wouldn't hurt.
 
The wound should be cleaned twice a day. I prefer something like chlorhexidene or Hibiclens 1/2 strength mixed with water, or Betadine for disinfecting a bite wound. It can be put in a clean spray bottle. You can find those at feed stores. Use soap and water if that is all you have. Plain Neosporin, polysporin, or Triple Antibiotic Ointment are good to coat the wound until it heals. I would keep him isolated in a dog crate with food and water, so no one pecks his wounds. A clean towel, changed daily, can be used for bedding. Let us know how he gets along.
