Duck injured her bill. Will/can this heal?

[omeomy07]

I just saw this wound. If it can't /won't heal, I need to cull ASAP.

I sprayed some veterycin in there but that's it. I'm willing to treat her if it seems like it's possible for her to recover.

She's about 4 months, Ancona.

Hopefully, @Miss Lydia , @casportpony , @WVduckchick , or @chickens really will chime in. Sorry about your duck. You may also want to post on the duck forum (under “Forums” above.

 

[chickens really]

Please get the bleeding stopped and post a clear picture of the wounded area ..

 

[Miss Lydia]

Any idea what happened? Clean it up so we can see what the wound looks like. Poor little one!

 

[omeomy07]

I don't know what happened, she's in an enclosed run

I'll post clean pics ASAP, I need to put the other animals to bed first then tend to her.

is this a good angle?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Could she have got caught in fencing?

 

[omeomy07]

It's possible

Sorry I'm typing with one hand so answers are short

Looks like she might have got it caught in fencing or something like that. Could that be a possibility? Clean it up real good do you have Veterycin spray for wounds an infections? That is safe to use around the face.
