Don’t use anything with with “pain relief” and I agree with @A_Fowl_Guy; triple antibiotic would be a safe bet.

Always got it in my animal medic bag.

Anything strike as being good?

The kind with pain reliever is fine. I use it all the time. There isn’t enough lidocaine in it to be harmful.

I’d keep the duckling away from the others for a while. It should close up within a day or so. Just keep it on something clean and dry, and nothing that can rip it open any more.

Ha! Found some in the people first aide.

I wouldn’t. It shouldn’t take too long. Is it very active, or just laying around?

In between. It just hatched today so not too active yet. I put power towels down in brooder.

That’s good. Do you have any Nutridrench? A drop or two straight, followed by plain water would be good if you have it.
