I have a three week old duckling named Daisy, who was the only one to hatch out of three eggs. She's imprinted on my and gets very stressed when I leave her(she's harness trained, and loves going adventuring).
So two days ago I was cleaning out the chicken coop, and Daisy was roaming the yard, and my neighbors cat caught her, I threw something at the cat and it dropped her, she had two punctures, one on her neck and one close to the base of her tail, which I sprayed with BluKote. Anyway, yesterday night I noticed slight swelling on her abdomen, close to her thigh. The swelling is squishy and makes a noise kinda similar to foamy soap if you press on it. The vet was booked out for the rest of the week, and its closed during weekends (this weekend is a long weekend, so it'll be closed until Tuesday) the swelling has spread, and gotten larger,
Is there anything i can do for her? Unfortunately i simply can't afford the emergency vet, so I'm hoping she pulls through until Tuesday.
Photos attached, the swollen side is pretty obvious.
