Duck attacked now blind

[lukewilkes]

My ducks were attacked today. In the past I have lost one chicken and one duck. But this time I lost three. One is wounded on the head and seems to be blind now. Any advice? I have cleaned with warm water and brought inside in the warmth. Not eating or drinking. Definitely seems to be in shock. Just happened hours ago so any advice would be good. Too late for a vet and I would like to handle at home if at all possible. Thanks guys

Hi Luke and welcome to BYC. Sorry to hear about the attack on your flock. I'd strongly suggest posting your question on the ER forum for the best advice - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/threads/add/forumId/10

Best of luck

Please isolate the duck and keep in a warm ,darkened, quiet area. He sounds like he is in shock. Don't try to push any fluids or food at this time. Hopefully he will come out of it .

G’Day from down under lukewilkes Welcome!

I am so sorry to hear of your losses and hope the folks on the ER Forum were able to assist. Best wishes to you and your duck.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

please keep the duck warm and in a fair quiet area. Do not mess with the duck. Stress can make these shock situations much worse. Offer food and water tomorrow evening if the shock seems to have worn off. Please update us with news tomorrow
