Dog attack

[Sg2]

Hi guys, I’m new to this so please bear with me.
Looking for advice on how I should treat my duck, she got attacked by a stray dog.

She’s a cuyuga . She’s been penned up and born in August.
She has vitamins and been eating bananas, doesn’t seem interested in her regular food. Is drinking, alert, and pooping. Has not been given antibiotics...I don’t know about it in ducks.

Problem is the dog ripped her chest open, so it is sort of like a flap on her chest where her muscle is separated.

Question is should I try to wrap her up so it holds together? I tried calling a few vets but they don’t do birds. Thanks! Any advice is appreciated.

Hello Sg2.
Welcome to BYC.
For people to offer any advice it would be helpful if you could provide some pictures of the wound. A few clear shots showing the damage from different angles would be very helpful.

What have you done so far? Cleaned the wound?

 

[Sg2]

cleaned with saline solution, bag balm and given her vitamins. I just didn’t know if I needed to do anything else.

Poor thing! I’m cringing.

Not an expert but I’d clean the wound and wrap her with gauze.
