Duck attacked

[teetee0413]

hello please help. I have a pekin duck that unfortunately was attacked by a predator last night. Need some help on how to care for wounds. Unfortunately we loss one but want to save this one. She is acting fine and walking around fine. She has punture wounds from what it looks like on head. I already washed with clean water to clean her up. What else needs to be done? A picture attached my son just sent me unfortunately I am at work. I asked him to put her in the bath so she can get more clean water.

Welcome to BYC, sorry your duck is injured. When you get home, give inspect her thoroughly and flush all wounds with saline, then you can apply some Neosporin.

Thank you I will go buy some Saline. I have neosporin already. Should I bring her inside? We had her inside for a bit today and she seemed very upset leaving the other ducks.

Depends on how serious the wounds are. Can you post some close up pictures when you get home?

Yes I can. Thank you so much I am new to owning ducks and been learning on the way. We are fixing coop to make it more secure today as well. I can't have this happen again. I am truly devastated for my babies. I feel like a crazy duck mom.
