Bad cat attack.

Okay thankyou I have kept her away for now as she has antibiotics in her water. Just hoping that she starts eating and drinking soon fingers crossed. What a horrible feeling

Unfortunalty there is still just alot off maggots underneath and duckie won't let me dry him after his bath so I am going to take him to the vet because i don't want to put him through more pain and i can't get the maggots out on my own fingers crossed it doesn't cost me to much

@Mbataligin , how is your duck doing?

Hope your duck is on the mend! Whose cat attacked it? I would definitely keep the cat indoors if it's yours and, if not, I would talk to your neighbors about keeping their cat inside or trap the cat and take it to your local animal shelter (or euthanize it if that's legal in your area) to keep the cat from attacking again.

Maggots only eat dead flesh, so if the maggots are present, you have a problem with septicemia in the wound.
Maggots are a symptom of a problem, not a cause.

Couldn't agree more
