Duckling cuteness vs color curiosity 😂

[Luv Ducks]

He should be ok. There was "extensive" muscle damage to his calf but thankfully no bone or tendon damage. It left a pretty big full thickness wound though. I'm pretty squeamish and seeing muscle move with no skin covering it is quite . He ended up readmitted to the hospital for a week due to infection and he hasn't been home since the "incident". Between various fur babies, regular duck chaos, duckling brooder in the house...just doesn't seem like a clean enough environment for someone without skin. He's definitely lucky that he was close enough that a friend heard and came running because he was alone when it happened. I went up in the woods where it happened about 5 days later and easily found the blood puddle stain and could still see spatter marks from arterial spray.

So glad to hear that he should be okay but sorry this happened to him. He sounds like he was pretty lucky though due to the circumstances.
