Duck injured by owl need help

[micstrachan]

It looks to me like his left leg is injured. Does anyone know if ducks can use slings like chickens can? And if it’s safe for him, can you post a video of him in water?

I think there are some you can buy, but most people make them.

Hey guys its a nice day out so i moved the duck bin outside and hes been there pretty much all day. ive been working in the garage keeping an eye on him but noticed he had blood coming from his nose. Not much at all but whenever i give him water he always sneezes in it and even when he is just sitting there he sneezes more in general. When the owl got him it seemed to scratch his beak up a bit but was never bleeding until today (about a week and couple days after accident). I wonder if the scratched beak caused a blockage in his nostrils and thats why he keeps sneezing. He is also getting a little more balanced so hes been scratching himself in the face because it itches. Maybe he clipped his nose on accident?? let me know anything you would do or what you know thanks!!

@Miss Lydia @casportpony can you help with this?

All depends on how long you want to keep him in that condition?
Personally I'd of let him go. Possibly neurological at this point. Sadly we all have to decide when to stop care.

Anything i can do for his itchy beak? He has gotten stronger but still cant stand on his own. He tries to itch himself and then falls. I usually end up itching it for him. Let me know if there is anything i can do for it. thanks
