Hi all! I believe one of my girls ripped out/broke a nail yesterday, I have a pic but it isn’t the best
I found quite a bit of blood in the duck run this morning then found the culprit with a bloody toe and what appears to be a missing nail. I brought her inside and soaked her feet in a warm epsom salt bath for around 15 minutes to clean it out.
I plan to treat with wound spray and Neosporin, then try to wrap it (I’ve never had to wrap a ducks wound before so advice is much appreciated, my bandaging skills only apply to horses
)
It’s very cold and wet here right now, which I imagine isn’t good for it, hence the plan to wrap it. I can’t really keep her inside the house because her bonded companion would go crazy and I’m not home for most of the day, so I won’t really be able to tend to them and give water (I can’t just set a container down because they make a huge mess and I don’t have a good waterproofed area indoors)
Is there anything else I should be doing for her and/or watching out for? She seems to be eating/drinking/moving fine. Is there a good tutorial on how to properly wrap their feet/legs?
Thank you in advance!
