Thank you ! I was just unsure when to start.

So in 2 days it will be day 4 for you?

Well, I set the eggs at about noon on Friday, so it’s now the beginning of day 3. So tomorrow at noon is starting day 4. Sry this sounds confusing.

Day 1 starts after 24 hours so Tuesday will be your day 4.

Anything I can do specifically for a laceration on the joint? It's leaking yellow pus and it feels swollen and hot.
I've rinsed it with saline wound wash and put vetricyn and sterile wrap on it.

Sorry for your duck, I would probably do the very thing that you have already done. Kinda hard to reduce swelling with birds or I would probably use ice, but imagine keeping her still.

The goopy spot on her abdomen is pus from her leg joint.
I have no idea what happened, she escaped with three other ducks while I was at church, and when I got home I found her sitting on a hay bale sunning herself while her sisters foraged. She couldn't run away so I know it happened before I tried to catch her, but it was definitely not before church this morning that she injured herself.

Sorry for my incomplete post. I lost service and it somehow posted without me realizing.
