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

Do you have any ointment? If you do but you don't have enough then maybe you could mix it with some aloe vera or coconut oil. Preferably aloe vera
ITS OK. Your doing a good job. I know your upset. Do you have someone that can help you?
If so, wrap your duck in a towel and have someone cut all the feathers off on its neck.
 
:hugs O.k. honey, it's o.k!

You have Peroxide right? You can use that for the initial cleaning, then flush the wound with lukewarm plain water.
Trim the feathers away from the edges of the wound. Just go slow and have someone help you if possible.

When you have the feathers trimmed, an flush the wound, take some photos.

It's so hard to tell what's going on and how deep that it. I understand it's upsetting, but you can do this.
They said they were out. 😬
 
Veteran wound treater here, my chickens and my own, oh, and when I was fifteen and nearly killed my sister. It's not rocket science.

1. Stop the bleeding.
2. clean the wound.
3. Antibiotic ointment
4. Keep it moist.
5.Oral antibiotic for all puncture wounds.

I like @AngelaY 's suggestion of the tub of warm soapy water. What better way to cleanse a duck's wounds? Good fit.

The wounds need to be assessed as to type. Lacerations may need stitches. Tissues torn or lost will need daily cleaning and kept moist with ointment to encourage tissue growth and discourage bacteria.

If the wounds expose internal organs, that necessitates a decision to end the duck's suffering in view of likely fatal wounds.
