Cut on foot

[The Duck Dad]

my duck gets cuts all the time, and the best thing to do it to just keep it clean. My duck Peter is an indoor duck so she stays inside when she's hurt, but i don't know about you.
it should heal quickly though, it's pretty small.

Yes bandage it.

No, better to let it have some air.

I’m not going to let it get infected being outside

Be careful, bandaging can cause more problems than it prevents.

I’m gunna change the dressing everyday and put the vetercyn stuff on it until the cut gets better. I feel more comfortable having it bandaged then not

You could soak it in something. Epson salts?

I did just warm water to get the dirt off her feet and went over them with a towel then put hydrogen peroxide

Whenever I step on nails (more often then you might think) I soak it for 15 min twice a day. Till it scabs over.
