Help duckling has puncture wound in crop foods coming out of it

Don’t use hydrogen peroxide again.

Agree here. It causes oxidation and destroys healthy tissue- healthy cells that promote the fibrin matrix of scar formation at the wound edges and the base of the wound are destroyed.

Will she eat some moistened feed? Egg might be good as well. I would let the wound scab over once nothing is leaking out.

IDK yet, when I feed the rest of the flock out side I will bring some moistened feed to her. I'm just not sure if any food leaking out would be really bad for her.
I'm sure I will try giving her eggs at some point.

Yep, I've been hearing about that, a lot of things were kind of saying to use it so I thought barely any hydrogen peroxide once might be okay to help clean the area and I don't know if it even got near it.

Should I try using iodine on it though or should the vetricyn plus be enough?

Try some moistened feed my flock loves it so hopefully she’ll be able to eat it. If you could keep her in away from flies this would be best so you don’t end up with maggots in the wound.

I use Veterycin on most anything even myself lol

I always try to give them wet feed no matter the age or species so no one's choking or coughing on dry dusty crumbles or pellets. Thanks for the help given

That's partially why she's in the house my room hardly has flys in it generally so hopefully she'll be safe from em.

Lol, I mostly have it for my Pekin who has bumble foot that I am working on treating I've not used it on her yet or anyone until last night with Tiny.

Saline is and I'm sure the vetricyn are gonna be the most used things for wound care (for the birds) here.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes I keep both on hand.

 

[AngelinaThePekin8]

She successfully dirtied her water in seconds after eating.

And some leaking.

My biggest problem is not knowing how to properly clean the area.

There's a small mirror in with Tiny and she was just looking at it and making noises at it.
