Sorry mixed comments. LEAVE WRAPPED OR UNWRAP AND CLEAN BETTER? (not yelling just want to make the question bold)

Leave wrapped overnight, then unwrap in the morning and post pics

Aww she must be a strong girl to survive and I hope she does I would hate to see you lose her!

I will for sure keep you updated! She did drink some of the sugar water mix. She is laying on the towel resting now.

Do not wrap the wound!! Wrapping traps bacteria to the skin and makes it harder for the wound to breath. Leave it unwrapped and covered in a THICK layer of Neosporin. @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock
I think she can survive this. I may not have read every post and please correct me if this info has already been said.
If there is a skin flap, use sterile saline solution and a strong squatting syringe. I've found that bulb syringes work best. Squirt under the flap really really well. Squirt the whole area, and trim all the feathers away from the wound. Try to get 1/2 of space between feathers and wound.
Once the wound is clean, (squirted well) as long as the bleeding has stopped, you should be able to see it clearly with minimal blood staining. Send us a picture of the wound after rinsing throughly and being able to clearly see the wound.
Then Spray with Veterycin and cover in a very thick layer of Neosporin.
Put electrolytes in her water, ACV is good, but electrolytes and vitamins will have a stronger affect. Whenever you can get ahold of them is great.
Maybe I didn't see this, but is she eating well? If not, try making a mash of her food so it's easier for her to eat.
I truly think she can survive this. Can you get a clear photo of her injured wing once you've gotten rid of most of the blood staining? She'll be fine without it as long as everything heals well.
Keep us posted, hopefully she gets better soon!

Quick question, doesn't leaving it unwrapped for the first little bit make it so that the wound is likely to be worsened (their skin is ridiculously soft) and wouldn't the Neosporin wipe off? Also ducks are notoriously messy and it seems like keeping it wrapped would just be extra protection from more bacteria. Is there a middle ground where the wound is protected but the bacteria isn't incubated?

If she is still bleeding, the wrap may be helpful to apply pressure when you can't, otherwise it's unnecessary.
Can you get a hold of some styptic powder? That will be very helpful in stopping big bleeds, but Cornstarch works as a good substitute. Not sure if either of those things should go in the wound though, so if experts suggest against it, listen to them over me. Apply firm pressure until the bleeding stops.

If you wrap the wound correctly, (I have no idea how to do this) it can be beneficial. I've heard an expert explain the risk factor over the benefits before, but can't remember who it was or where it was posted. The Neosporin will stay on as it will stick to the wound and the feathers. I can't explain how to properly wrap it vs. improperly, but if it were me, I would rather not wrap it then risk wrapping in correctly. Most members suggest against wrapping as I've found.
