Duckbill Ferny and his posse.

Still not eating solid food.
 
View attachment 1895840 View attachment 1895841 Two of our ducks were attacked yesterday and lost parts of the beak. Duck #1 lost about 1/3 of the beak and Duck #2 lost about 3/4. The tongue is intact. See pics.

We gave emergency care - bath, water, antibiotic. Both are breathing normally today.

We want to help these ducks recover if possible, but we also don’t know if duck #2’s injuries are too severe for her to ever be able to drink and feed without help.

Your experience requested.
That’s a horrible injury. I’m so sorry. My beautiful goose just got her head crushed by a raccoon. I shot the raccoon. I rushed her to the vet because I was not experienced enough to assess that injury, and he said no she would not be able to make it so he kindly euthanized her. So I would recommend take them into the vet, have the vet just take a look and he can let you know what the possibilities are for recovery again I’m so sorry this happened to those beautiful girls!!
 
Update: Duckbill Ferny isn’t eating and is losing weight.

The others have some reintroduction stress. They peck at his neck for a bit, but then settle down. So for now, Duckbill stays in the garage and has supervised day visits with the posse.

Any feeding help?
