This is her

Yes Ik but she is also just a puppy

Puppy, dog, if she hurt my chickens, she wouldn't be allowed on my property.
Many people, if they have a dog bother their chickens, they shoot it. I would never do that, but you gotta set limits.

I'm sorry this happened. If this were my duck, I'd put him out of his misery rather than let him suffer. Learn from the experience. Never let a dog of any age have free access to your birds. Dogs have natural instincts and have to be conditioned to birds gradually.

Again, I'm very sorry this happened.

I would rinse the wound with salt water and a little bit of hand sanitizer, then lather the whole thing with a butt ton of ointment or bag balm. I've never had to bandage a dog attack wound but this looks a lot worse than anything my dog had ever done when he was a puppy... he would always stop and hide when he realized that he was hurting them, but that's only because of the breed he is, if he were any other breed then I believe I would've had to bury a lot of birds..

I just looked closer at the wound, I think it looks a lot worse than it is because of her white feathers...

If you're going to wash it, do not use peroxide or hand sanitizer. Trim feathers back to get a good look at the injuries first.

Instead use Chlorhexidine, diluted Betadine, saline, or plain mild soap and water. Pat dry and apply LOTS of plain triple antibiotic ointment.

I personally think this is beyond patching up.

Agreed...but can the duck survive it?

I don't see this one surviving this. Hard to tell without clear photos of the wound though.

Gotta try though.

Worth a shot to at least trim back feathers to get a look at the damage. I would do that now though.
