Hallen
In the Brooder
That is what I was thinking! It is walking very well now, almost no limp at all so I think once fully healed it will be back to normal. I am planning on keeping it inside for about a week and will definitely be keeping it clean and dry along with the antibiotic ointment.Ouch, poor baby. Unfortunately, at this point I don't think it can be joined back together without surgery. The duck should be fine once it's fully healed.
I would keep applying some ointment on it and keeping it clean, perhaps some confined time for about a week. Don't get it wet if possible. It already looks mostly healed, but the webbing is going to remain separated from that toe, I'm afraid.
Have you ever seen a foot injury similar to this? Any ideas as to what could have caused it? If you look at the picture at the other side of the foot where there is no big cut, you can see a strange scarring pattern.
