Duck mauled by dogs

[AlexsonVick]

Our duck has been attacked by two dogs. His neck has been shredded but his esophagus and lungs have not been penetrated. We cant go to a vet right now. So we're wondering what can be used for them medical wise.

I would definitely say get Vetricyn, and apply it ASAP. It can be kind of spendy but still cheaper than a vet visit. I got mine from tractor supply and it lasted me through several very bad injuries. It is important to follow the instructions though (flush the wound twice a day).
You should do this soon as go avoid a fatal infection, which is a real threat since it was mauled.
Good luck with the injuries!! The sooner you get started on it the sooner they’ll heal!

Pics!! One of my dogs got one of my ducks a couple weeks ago but all she did was rip out feathers to expose big naked spots on his back. They were large red and inflamed but no open wounds. I put him in a warm bath every night to wash it off, and slathered bag balm and poultry wound spray on them from TSC every night for a week and everything’s looking good, no longer inflammed and feathers starting to come back in. He was depresssed (I called it duck PTSD) for about 4-5 days after the attack.

I can't see clearly, but it looks like that might just be a lot of missing feathers. I'm not seeing anything that looks like a major injury.
Get some warm water and use it to wash those caked feathers clean, so it's easy to see better. Are there any actual puncture wounds?

How is she doing today?
