Where does she usually stay? Do you have pens with separate areas?

I’ve been keeping her with the ducklings at the moment. I think she should be ok outside.

You can just put her in a room(maybe your room so the dog can't come in) and she just stay in there. If you have an essential oil mister then putting some relaxing oils can help her to relax.

I don’t really won’t her getting out and pooping on the carpet also my brothers dog gets in my room and steals my stuff.

Ok....I would just suggest pitting her in room or bath room with towels every where to collect the poop.

Perhaps you could keep her in a bathroom or bath tub? It sounds like you have your hands full with school. Maybe your parents can help take care of her while you are away?

I would definitely not recommend putting her back outside since she needs to avoid infection and keep away from flies.

You know best what it’s like there and if the duckling will mess with her at least they aren’t like chickens.

I had something similar happen to one of mine. Not sure if it was a dog or my muscovy that did it but she had an incredibly deep wound between her neck and wing. Blood and feathers everywhere. I honestly didnt think she eould make it more than a few hours. I cleaned her up best i could and got bleeding to stop. Dried her off and cleaned and wrapped her wound (iodine wash and triple antibiotic). Crated her and gave her water with electrolytes and kept her indoors. The first couple days were awful. But she started doing better. About 2 weeks shes had healed over (it did tear the muscles there so i was surprised it healed around it). Shes even grown feathers back over. She cant open her wing quite like she used to but shes as high spirited as ever and was super happy when she got back to the rest of the flock. I hope this helps and good luck! Would love to hear updates on her as well.

I had to put her back outside as my parents didn't want her inside. This afternoon I'll clean her up and wrap her.

That's good . @casportpony Will a mix of sugar in water work as an electrolyte?
