If anyone has any advice please help!!! My Rouen duck, about 6 weeks old, was injured Thursday (its Sunday now). I was worm hunting and had stuck my shovel in the dirt and had one hand on another duck to hold him away so he wouldn’t get hurt and laid the shovel down to pull up the dirt and didn’t see my other duck run over and sneak his bill under it and it smooshed his bill . I heard him cry out and he ran away and I saw blood so I rushed him inside to the bathtub and washed it with some water and cleaned it diluted hydrogen peroxide and put some neosporin on the cut (saw some posts suggesting to do that) and the cut was fine within a few minutes. It didn’t start bleeding again after that. He tucked his bill under his wing for the rest of the night but was up and running and playing like nothing happened the next day. He’s been so happy and lovey, I was really worried he would hate me. I feel like the worst person in the world and I can’t believe I made this huge mistake!
Anyways, his bill was swollen under the cut and it still hasn’t gone down. Should I be worried? Should I give it a week to finish healing and then maybe the swelling will go away? Or does this sound like fluid buildup in a bad way? I’m not sure what to do... I just want my baby to be okay Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
