Dog got my duck

Please please please take her to see a vet. Dogs carry lots of bacteria in their mouth, and she will die without antibiotics - http://www.poultrydvm.com/poultry-vets.php

Poor girl! Have you tried putting her food in lots of water? I know ducks like to filter their food out of the water. My stepson had an old duck that would come down to my place everyday to get some food,I think it was because I would put it in a bowl of water for him. Maybe it would get her to eat and drink at the same time.

Yes. Ducks have to have water to eat. She did eat some peas a minute ago

Update: She is doing great! She acts like nothing is wrong. Still not eating like I want her to but eating a little more each day.

I've pulled a few hens through amazing injuries but it was treating them with vetricin several times a day and keeping them in my bathroom until they healed. Longest was Dotty at 5 weeks of special care. Birds can pull through a lot and live with scares and such but it's a long term commitment to care for one. I can't say how bad your bird is or what you should do with her but if she's drinking everyday and eating a bit it's not too much to assume she might pull through but....

Good luck making the best decision for you and her.

Edit: Just read your post! Glad to hear!

Well her wing isn’t broken like I thought. I moved her into a bigger pen today in the basement. She stretched out both wings like normal!
