My DUCK GOT ATTACKED BY MY DOG!! HELP PLEASE!!!*PICS INCLUDE

I'll assume this pause in your posts means you're busy flushing the wound for five minutes.

Next, you need to find something to put on the raw wound to seal it from new bacteria. The best would be an anitbiotic ointment such as Neosporin or Triple antibiotic salve. If your house doesn't have either of those, look for honey or coconut oil. These are both naturally antibiotic and can provide a film against bacteria and help keep the tissue moist.

Rule#1- Never let the wound dry out.
Rule#2- Never let the wound dry out.
Rule#3- Never let the wound dry out.

I don’t have coconut oil or honey

What about baby oil?

Stop the bleeding, by putting pressure on it. I would keep him/her under a heat lamp or just inside for a while, until it gets better. Wash it with water and hydrogen peroxide. I hope your duck gets better! Maybe also cover it with something, because I know they will groom their chest. So maybe cover it with medical tape or something, *ALSO don't let the other ducks or any other poultry see her, some poultry is attracted to the color red*

It's awesome that he's letting you! Does it look like his crop (ball shaped organ at the bottom of the neck, top of the chest) is damaged at all? If not and he's still eating I think he may have good chances, it doesn't look as deep as the original pictures to me

In ducks, the crop is not ball-shaped, it looks more like this:

No stitches. No super glue. No baby oil.

Is there any way your parents can take you, or go themselves, to a Dollar store? They should have everything you need.

NO!

Now that feathers have been trimmed back, I agree that the wound is not nearly as severe as it first appeared.

You've been doing such a great job. Just remember to breathe.
