Dogs broke my fence down Saturday and killed all but one of my ducks. The survivor, her wing was injured and she acts like her side may be bothering her but no punctures. I am worried she was crushed. I treated the wing and am keeping her in a extra large carrier in my kitchen. She is terrified and wants to stay in the carrier. She is also drinking and eating tomatoes but has little interest in her food. She took a bath and preened today. She snorts at my cats if they come near her. I’m concerned she needs to eat more and I want to get her calm so she can recover. Any thoughts on what I can do to help her along would be appreciated.

Oh, I'm so sorry.... What a terrible thing to have happen...

Is a vet an option?
 
So far she is really eating a lot of tomatoes but refuses all other food. She is bathing enthusiastically. She’ll have knew companions in a couple days so I’m optimistic she’ll snap out of her depression.
