Help. Duck has a claw ripped off

[riverstyx]

How do I care for it so it doesn't get infected?

Put him in a small, clean area. Rinse the foot off, maybe put some antibiotic cream on it. Leave him there until it heals over.

Use an antibiotic cream that doesn't have pain reliever. If it hasn't stopped bleeding, dab on some baking soda.

Will it grow back? I will use neosporin. Can I clean it with peroxide?

that doesn't have pain reliever

Oh yes I should have mentioned this.

riverstyx, the ones with pain reliever can make ducks ill.

The claw will probably not grow back but that is okay, it will adapt. How much is missing? Just the nail, part of the toe, the whole toe? What happened?

Not peroxide. There are some sprays, but I can't think of the names. Simple saline solution would be fine.

thank goodness its just the claw nail. It didn't even bleed much. Not sure what the silly lil duck was doing. But she is ok. Thanks for all the help.

 

[Debs Flock]

Glad she's okay. Now you know what to do if it happens again.

 

[riverstyx]

Thanks....geez I hope it doesn't happen again! ☆
