So our duck coop has a weird door on it, it closes at the top and has a but of a space at the bottom, and one of our ducks got her head stuck in it. She has a large wound on her neck, all of the feathers and a lot of the skin had rubbed off. It appears to have stopped bleeding but she has a small hole in her neck. We separated her from the rest of the ducks and she seems to be acting fine, just a little bit slow. I would love any help I could get. Here are some images, I'm sorry for the horrible camera quality.

Im so sorry no one has responded to you yet. If you can, I would catch her and get her cleaned up first. Try to wash off some of the blood so you can see how bad the wound is.

Flush any wounds you see with Betadine, chlorhexidine, or vetericyn (whichever you have on hand). You can use Neosporin (no pain killer) over the effected areas too.

Keep her away from the other ducks for the moment. They may pick at her or aggravate the wounds. I'll tag @Isaac 0 just in case I've forgotten anything. Hope this helps! ❤️
