Looks like he lost a lot of blood. Apply pressure and clean the wound. Trim feathers around the wound so it’s easier to treat it. I’ve seen ducks recover with much worse

The wing is barley attached and yes she lost a lot of blood.

Seriously?

ok so here is what I would do.
CAREFULLY clean up the wound,
Stop bleeding and thoroughly clean wounds by flushing with copious volumes of warm sterile saline solution or 0.05% chlorhexidine. Since the duck was bitten she would be treated immediately with antibiotics, treat her with penicillin

Do I put both wings in wrap or leave good one out?

Depending on how the other wing is

Oh sorry didn’t read full post. Leave the good wing out after you’ve done this:

I'm so sorry this happened to your duck.

That is a very serious wound. Get the bleeding stopped ASAP. Apply pressure and hold it until it stops. She can live without the wing as long as nothing gets infected.

Once it stops bleeding, clean it extremely well. Use betadine, chlorhexidine, or vetericyn. Pack with antibiotic cream and wrap the wound. You can go under her other wing and bring it around over her other side.

She'll likely need antibiotics, and you'll have to watch the wound very closely for infection. I really hope she makes it. Best of luck to you!

Also wanted to add on: Keep her warm and in a dark place for a bit. Shock is the biggest killer before anything else. You want her to calm down from the whole ordeal.
