Beta dine is really good to have. On hand for cleaning wounds.

Pluck or trim all the feathers around the wound so you can see what you’re working with.
Since you’re going to the store, pick up some betadine, saline solution, medical honey gel (if they have it), and antibiotic ointment without pain reliever.
If you’re going to a feed store and don’t already have it, I would also pick up some nutridrench to help perk her up.

Clean the wound thoroughly with betadine (really work it in there) and flush well with saline. Pluck and trim feathers along the way to create a margin around the wound so no feathers are sticking to it and you have a clear view. Slather on some of that honey or ointment and repost a picture.

She’s most likely in shock and would benefit from a dark quiet area, like a covered dog kennel inside. Try not to beat yourself up too much, these things happen.

This is what I would do too.

"Golden" appreciate where your going but your timing is freaking horrible. I know I'm responsible for everything that happens on my watch. Dog has always been good with all other livestock and has played nice with the ducks for 8 weeks. Good info for sure and I understand you just trying to help and make sure my pup isn't blamed
