Ivermectin with duck

I think you might need to pick all of the black stuff off because there could be maggots under it.

Oh gosh. Is it rotted flesh? I'm scared if I do that it's going to open up to her organs

In your other thread you said it was her breast muscle that is injured, yes?

Do you know anyone who has knowledge of treating an animal wound that you could call for help?

It looked like her entire right breast was taken. I don't see bone though.... Should I remove it in a soak?

I called multiple vets but I don't have any that have any duck specific knowledge.

The breast muscle is two layers, so maybe just the top layer is missing.

Is the injury in the blue or yellow zone? If it's in the blue zone, I think with proper treatment that this duck has a chance. If in the yellow zone, where there is no bone, the prognosis is poor.

Can you pick a little bit of the black stuff off and take new pictures?

Any vet should be able to treat this wound.

Looks like the blue area, in the very front. I'll pick off what I can but I think her esophagus has a puncture, when she drinks water it drips out of her chest.

While that's true, we also can't afford to see a vet at the moment, I'm the best she's got

Can you take a video, upload it to youtube or vimeo, then copy and paste the link here? I would like to get an idea of how alert she is or isn't.

It's taking forever to upload, it'll be a minute
