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

[Miss Lydia]

Just keep the spraying up maybe 4x a day. Or if you let her bathe then after bath time too.

After the wound stopped leaking as much I cleaned it with saline and wiped it a little with a paper towel.
I forgot about vetricyn so I'll do that now.

It was a struggle spraying it on her she doesn't like the saline bottle or the vetricyn bottle coming near her she bites at them.

If I let her bath I shouldn't have the water so deep she can submerge her wound in it?

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?

vetericyn is all natural and gentle. I would not use iodine. Iodine is ok if you plan to debride (not needed here), other than that vetericyn is good. you are looking to cleanse the wound, not apply antiseptic agents because it’s considered a clean (as opposed to sterile) area.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Something I've been forgetting to note here, Tiny since I noticed the wound has had some clear watery discharge from her eyes there's not a lot.

For cleaning the wound, I would just say spray the vetericyn straight on like a few others said as opposed to wiping anything on. Use the spray to maybe almost flush it out. And I’m not sure about the eye discharge. Hoping tiny heals quickly.

That's what I've been doing, I just changed the top puppy training pad for her and filled a tub of water up enough for the top of her feet to be covered, but she didn't do much with it.

I think she's getting more comfortable in the house now hopefully she can go back out soon. I've been leaving my window open so there's fresh air.

Hoping tiny heals quickly.

Thank you! Me too!


Tried to get a pic of her eye discharge or the stuff that dried.

 

[AngelinaThePekin8]

I fed Tiny a little bit of food out side a few minutes ago and let her hang out with her siblings real quick.

The hole is leaking from all the water she drank with food and bathing.


I'm really worried about her right now (I'm possibly just over thinking again) she's really playing in the water right now and she acts like a normal duckling but her eyes and of course the injury just make me worried.

When she flaps her wings to stretch and gets tall she sounds a little stuffed up occasionally. The eye discharge seems clear and there really isn't much all the time.

Should I possibly try wrapping her neck up to help it stay moist? I don't think it gets dry really Idk.

I know it’s a bit different situation and a different kind of bird but this may be helpful to read
