Duckling attacked by yorkie

[Natalie-Morgz]

Hi, my Pekin duckling was just attacked by my three toothed Yorkie. She's currently inside all snuggled up but I'm worried she's not gonna make it. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

Where are her wounds?

Where are her wounds?

There are tiny little puncture wounds on her neck and a little crack on her beak.

More than likely she is in shock so keep her warm for now. Have you cleaned her wounds ? Don’t try to force her to eat anything give her time to recover from shock.

Thank you so much! I think you're right. She's doing much better and has eaten and drank. I have not cleaned her wounds yet since she won't let me go anywhere without her getting upset.

That’s awesome give her a little time but I’d try and clean her wounds warm water soft cloth then something like triple antibiotic or neosporin.

Thanks! I really appreciate all the help you've been! I'll get her cleaned up and hopefully she'll be as good as new

Miss Lydia gave great advice. Over the next few days, keep an eye out for signs of infection and consider veterinary care if you see those or if she starts going downhill.

I hope your sweet little duckling will be ok.
