Found this duckling by the water dish just laying there, wet and cold. Thought she was dead but she chirped. Put her by the mom. Next thing you know she was out of the nest again laying on the ground and dad was rolling her around with his beak. Brought her in the house and put her under a heat lamp and on top of a heat pad to warm her up. Started examining her thoroughly and saw this on her leg. She is warmed up but not moving much breathing and chirping now and then. Should I treat the wound?
