In the Brooder
I have a duck who was attacked by a dog. He had a pretty significant wound behind his leg and a couple other less major punctures. This happened Sunday. Since then, I have been doing warm baths, wound cleaning and applying Vetricyn and antibiotic ointment. It got a little chilly here to put him outside in a crate in the coop (he has a brother to whom he is attached and bonded, want to keep them together), so I brought them inside and keeping them in a dog crate. The wounds are healing great, to the best of my knowledge, but they muck up the crate so bad that I’m not sure it is the best environment? Currently I have them in the crate w no plastic tray and a towel underneath the crate so they arent walking & laying in their poo. I need some tips on how to isolate him and keep his space clean. I have pets in the house and no extra actual room to let them stay out (small house). I think I have a good handle on his wounds and they are better every day. Just cant seem to keep his area clean while isolating.
