Duck injured by owl need help

[sforsythe10]

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.

i am trying to do what is right for him. he still seems like a happy duck and is still very feisty like he has always been. hes in antibiotics for 3 more days and i was going to see how he is after that

So the air sac needs to heal. What about eating and drinking?

And you are doing great no need to do anything as long as he hasn’t given up. It takes time to heal.

he is also eating and drinking fine i just bought him his favorite... meal worms and he has been eating those and his regular duck feed as well. after feeding him anything i always wash it down with some water and he always drinks it

If you can get him some b complex in liquid or tablets that can help or a good poultry vitamin. Poultry nutridrench is excellent. Give him a boost.

So does he just need time for the air sac to heal or we don't know if it's nerve damage? I had a hen that had a nerve injury to her leg and she could not walk for a couple months and one day she just started walking again.

Sounds promising that he is eating and drinking! Keep up the good work!!
