Hurt duck!

I just recently walked into my coop to clean and found blood [a lot of blood] all over one of the roosts went out and walked around to make sure no one was dying from an injury everyone looks and acted fine so I had to wait till that evening when everyone went in to roost so I could check feet I found nothing so I am thinking someone pulled off a nail but my goodness when I saw that blood I just knew someone almost bled to death. They do bleed a lot when they lose a nail.

Yeah mine bled a lot too! That’s why i was so worried!

My quail, randomly was preening his feet, and then I looked on my hand (where he was standing) and there was some marks of blood, he had pulled off his toenail for no reason the i knew of....anyway...he's fantastic, so I'm glad. No idea why he did it... but he's good..

Glad he was okay!

One of my Muscovy's lost her nail and I didn't think it would ever stop bleeding there must be a lot of blood vessels in that area. This was close to 11 yrs ago one of my first medical situations. lol

How is he today?

Please don't wrap it if there is a chance of the bandage getting wet, especially since it's cold where you are.

He’s still bleeding a little today. Not as much as yesterday though! Poor thing.

Can you keep him in a dog crate on a towel for a couple of days?

He’s still bleeding a little. Not as bad as yesterday. So I don’t want to mess with it too much. He’s eating, and drinking. And being his naughty little self like usual. Lol

I don’t have one a dog crate. Lol. Ducks are the only animal I have. Haha. But he seems to be a little better today. Acting normal.

I found when they bleed like that even blood stop doesn't do much I just kept applying pressure till it slowed.
