Duck w hole in head... new pic added #8

Do you know anybody who is a nurse or vet tech? I'm a nurse who likes animals and birds, and would be happy to help someone with an injured pet. I've seen lots of blood and gore and it doesn't bother me at all. Too bad I live too far from you to help.

I was thinking about you this weekend and actually thought the same thing.....i wonder if he got shot somehow.

Anybody at your house with a tougher stomach?

I guess the possibility of him being shot IS NOT completely out of the question... I just wouldn't have an idea who or why. The only people who know I even have ducks are the peeps next door and they pretty much keep to them selves. If they were hoping to eat it... they wouldn't be able to get in my yard. And if they just really hate ducks, the other 3 that huddle with him were left alone?????

I'm going to try to get my brother to come over later tonight to see if he can see anthing. He's a little better at this kind of stuff. Like I said... I'm a total wuss.

He seems to be doing okay other than the huge hole. I let him wash off today in the bathtub (freshly cleaned, of course). I mean, to take a duck from water is kinda cruel!

I'm sure he's happier for having a chance to get in the water. He just might take to being a house duck!

As to someone having a reason to shoot---they don't need one! Just kids out fooling around and shooting at whatever small and helpless presents itself. I truly hope not, but some people are amazingly cruel.
